Tadeusz Kościuszko Monument, Bronze memorial statue at Iron-Gate Square, Poland.
The monument shows a general in American military uniform holding fortification plans of West Point in his hands. The bronze figure stands on the Saxon Axis in central Warsaw and is surrounded by reliefs depicting important battle scenes.
The monument was unveiled in 2010 as an exact copy of a statue created in 1910 at Lafayette Square beside the White House in Washington. It replaced a communist-era memorial from the 1980s that was removed in 1991.
The monument honors a general who served both Poland and America, showing his importance to both nations. The reliefs at the base tell the story of his greatest battles and make his role in history visible to visitors.
The monument is located in a central spot in Warsaw's downtown area and is easy to reach on foot. The plaza is freely accessible to visitors and can be viewed at any time.
The monument resulted from collaboration between Polish sculptors and the Gliwice Technical Works. It was funded by Citi Bank Handlowy and the Warsaw City Council.
