Jan Kiliński Monument in Warsaw, Bronze statue in Old Town, Poland
The bronze statue depicts Jan Kiliński holding a raised sabre in a determined pose at the intersection of Piekarska Street and Podwale Street.
The monument, erected in 1936 at Krasiński Square, was hidden in the National Museum during World War II to protect it from potential destruction.
The statue represents Jan Kiliński, a shoemaker who became a military commander during the 1794 Kościuszko Uprising against Russian forces in Warsaw.
Visitors can find the monument along the Old Town walls, making it an excellent starting point for exploring Warsaw's historical district.
Local boy scouts once marked the statue's wartime hiding place with graffiti declaring 'People of Warsaw, I am here, Jan Kiliński.'
