Pomnik Barykada Września, War memorial at Grójecka Street, Warsaw, Poland.
The 27-IX is a memorial in Warsaw located along Grójecka Street, consisting of three concrete blocks. These blocks display significant dates: September 8, September 27, and the year 1939 in the center section, with over 40 commemorative plaques added after the initial construction.
The site marks the location of a barricade where Polish soldiers from the 41st Suwalki Rifle Regiment successfully resisted German tanks in September 1939. This event during the German invasion was a pivotal moment in Warsaw's defense history.
The site takes its name from the dates of the battle and is regularly visited by local residents who leave flowers and light candles. These personal gestures show how the memory of Warsaw's defenders remains alive in the community.
The memorial stands between two lanes of Grójecka Street near its intersection with Banacha Street and is easily visible to drivers approaching Warsaw from the south. The location makes it straightforward to find when entering the city.
The two side blocks are positioned parallel to the street axis, creating a distinctive geometric arrangement that often surprises visitors. This configuration gives the memorial an unusual visual presence amid the traffic.
