Pomnik Jana Pawła II w Poznaniu, Bronze papal memorial in central Poznań, Poland.
The Pomnik Jana Pawła II is a bronze statue showing a pope in liturgical robes with one hand raised in greeting. The figure faces toward the city and stands on a pedestal in central Poznań.
The monument was inaugurated on October 26, 2000, marking an important anniversary for the Catholic Church. It was created from the community's wish to honor a revered spiritual leader who shaped modern Polish history.
The monument represents a pope venerated in Poland as a symbol of religious freedom and faith. Visitors find here a place where believers and locals gather to remember his message and influence.
The site offers benches for visitors and is accessible via dedicated paths connecting to the main square. The surroundings are easily walkable and often busy on specific commemoration dates and religious holidays.
Twice a year, locals gather at the monument for special occasions to remember historic visits. These gatherings show how alive the connection between the site and the community remains today.
