Kopiec Kościuszki w Olkuszu, Memorial mound in Olkusz, Poland.

The Kosciuszko Mound rises 15 meters above ground level, featuring a concrete base of 18 meters in diameter with a wooden cross at its peak.

Built in 1861 to commemorate General Tadeusz Kosciuszko, the mound was destroyed by Russian authorities after the January Uprising and reconstructed in 1917.

The memorial site represents Polish independence movements and serves as a gathering place for national celebrations and commemorative ceremonies throughout the year.

Visitors can access the mound through walking paths from the intersection of National Road 94 and Slawkowska Street, with parking facilities nearby.

The mound underwent extensive restoration in 2018, including the conservation of its wooden cross and metal elements, plus the replacement of its foundation.
