Józef Piłsudski monument, Katowice, Memorial statue in Katowice, Poland.
The bronze monument features Marshal Piłsudski mounted on a horse, positioned in a central location of the city near government buildings.
Created by Croatian sculptor Antun Augustinčić before World War II, the statue arrived in Poland in 1990 after the end of Communist rule.
The monument represents Poland's path to independence and serves as a gathering point for national celebrations and commemorative events.
Visitors can reach the memorial by taking tram lines 6, 11, or 19 to the Rynek stop and walking east for approximately five minutes.
The statue depicts Piłsudski on a stallion, contrary to historical records showing he preferred riding his mare named Kasztanka.
