Monument to the Revolutionary Act in Rzeszów, Monument in central Rzeszów, Poland

The Monument to the Revolutionary Act in Rzeszów is a tall, narrow, pointed ellipse of pale grey concrete rising from a low dark base, with a vertical channel running down its centre and horizontal seams across its surface. On its lower half, a cluster of dark bronze figures is mounted around the shaft. It stands at the intersection of Łukasz Ciepliński Avenue and Józef Piłsudski Avenue.

This monument was erected in 1974 to commemorate battles that took place in the Rzeszów region during revolutionary periods. It emerged as an artistic response to the importance of these armed struggles in shaping the city's historical identity.

The monument depicts figures symbolizing struggle and labor, which people encounter as they pass through the square and contemplate the representation of human effort. The sculptures communicate through their gestures a sense of resistance and commitment that visitors continue to read and interpret today.

The monument stands at the intersection of two main avenues in the city center and is easy to locate. It features wheelchair accessibility, allowing all visitors to explore the structure from different perspectives and angles.

The monument's core is built from 37 pairs of reinforced concrete segments, each over a metre high, stacked to form the laurel-leaf shape. The ground was so marshy that dozens of reinforced concrete piles about 10 metres long were driven in, which would complicate any demolition. The city coat of arms was added at the top in the early 21st century.
