Monument of the Polish Soldier in Katowice, Memorial monument in Katowice, Poland.
The Silesian Insurgents Monument stands near the Spodek arena in Katowice, featuring three large bronze wings that reach 14 meters in height.
Created in 1967, this monument pays tribute to the three Silesian uprisings of 1919, 1920, and 1921 when Polish citizens fought for independence.
The names of battle sites from the Silesian uprisings are engraved on the vertical slopes, serving as a testament to regional military history.
Located in central Katowice, the monument consists of 350 individual parts and weighs 61 tonnes, making it one of Poland's largest bronze structures.
The citizens of Warsaw funded this monument's construction to honor the determination of Upper Silesian fighters during the post-World War I period.
