Revolution Monument in Łódź, Historical monument in Park Piłsudskiego, Łódź, Poland.
The Revolution Monument is a concrete structure designed in the 1970s by Kazimierz Karpiński and stands within Park Piłsudskiego. The design displays geometric forms and symbolic elements typical of Polish modernist architecture from that period.
The monument was built to commemorate the 1905 uprising when workers in Łódź protested against Russian imperial rule and poor labor conditions. Those events marked a turning point in the city's labor movement.
The inscriptions visible on the structure reference workers and their struggles, making the monument a place where people reflect on labor history. Today it serves as a focal point where the city acknowledges those who fought for better working conditions.
The site sits within Park Piłsudskiego and is easily reached on foot with multiple pathways through the green space. Plan to visit during quieter times of day when you can read the inscriptions and take in the surroundings without crowding.
The concrete structure uses geometric forms deliberately chosen to convey the power and resolve of the workers. Many visitors overlook the subtle details carved into the surface, which represent different phases of the struggle.
