Jan Kiepura monument in Sosnowiec

The Jan Kiepura monument stands in Plac Stulecia and displays a 2.8-meter-tall bronze statue of a man in a coat and hat with his hand extended outward. The nine welded sections create a dynamic composition depicting a characteristic singing pose.

The monument was unveiled in 2002 and marked the hundredth anniversary of the birth of a renowned opera singer who was born in this city. Creating the statue was a recognition of the musical heritage and its significance to the city's past.

The monument honors a celebrated singer from this city, depicted in a natural pose with his hand raised toward listeners. It was created by Warsaw artists and reflects the musical importance of the place.

The monument stands in a public square in the city center and is easily reached by public transportation. The statue is located in a well-accessible spot where visitors can view it from all sides.

An identical copy of this monument was erected a few years later in another city that also held a connection to the honored singer's life. This duplication created a symbolic bridge between two places that both share his story.
