Grunwald Monument, Memorial statue at Matejko Square, Krakow, Poland
The bronze equestrian statue features King Władysław II Jagiełło mounted on horseback, with soldiers standing at the base and a fallen knight beneath.
The monument commemorates the Battle of Grunwald of 1410, where Polish-Lithuanian forces defeated the Teutonic Knights in a decisive medieval confrontation.
The statue represents a symbol of Polish military achievement, funded by pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski and unveiled before 160,000 people in 1910.
Located in the northern section of Krakow's Old Town, the monument stands 24 meters tall and provides a central meeting point for guided tours.
The current monument is a 1976 reconstruction, as Nazi forces destroyed the original structure during World War II and transported its bronze elements to Germany.
