Polish Cavalry Monument, Military memorial statue at Polish Cavalry Roundabout, Warsaw, Poland

The bronze monument features two mounted figures: a medieval knight with a spear and a modern uhlan soldier holding a saber on a 16-meter tall pedestal.

The construction project started in 1978, underwent design selection in 1984, and the monument was finally unveiled to the public in 1994.

Four brass plaques at the base list 43 major battles where Polish cavalry forces participated, from medieval times through World War II.

The monument stands near the Politechnika metro station and was rotated in 2018 to face the roundabout for better visibility.

The brass plaques were manufactured using metal from actual military artillery shells, connecting the memorial directly to Polish military equipment.
