Moses monument in Łódź, Religious monument in Staromiejski Park, Łódź, Poland.
Description
The Moses monument in Łódź features a bronze statue of the prophet holding the tablets of the Ten Commandments, positioned at the heart of Staromiejski Park. Created in 1995 by Polish sculptor Kazimierz Gustaw Zemła, the statue serves as a focal point within the park's green spaces.
History
The monument marks a site of great religious importance where two synagogues once stood: the Old Synagogue built in 1809 and the Alte Szil Synagogue. Both were destroyed, the latter in 1939, and the monument recalls these lost buildings and the community that used them.
Culture
The monument honors the Jewish community that shaped Łódź for many generations. Today it represents the connection between the city and its Jewish heritage, which visitors can sense within the park's green setting.
Practical
The site is easily accessible by public transportation and is located in the Bałuty-Doły district. Several bus stops and tram lines serve the Staromiejski Park area, making it convenient to reach the monument.
Did you know?
This site was once home to the first wooden synagogue of Łódź before it was replaced by brick structures. The transformation from a religious building to memorial art on the same ground reveals the layered history of this place.
