Nike of Opole, Victory memorial at Plac Wolności, Opole, Poland
The Nike of Opole is a statue featuring a winged figure whose flowing drapery conveys an upward motion. It stands on a base at the center of Plac Wolności, surrounded by the city's urban structures.
The memorial was inaugurated in 1970 to honor those who fought for Polish identity in the Opole region. A major renovation in 2011 refreshed its surfaces and reinforced its role as a local landmark.
The statue depicts Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, and links ancient mythology to the Polish history of the Opole region.
The memorial sits centrally at Plac Wolności and is easy to reach on foot, being near bus stops and main streets. The open plaza offers good views of the structure and room to walk around.
The winged depiction draws from a classical motif used in ancient times, one that many countries adopted for monuments of freedom. This connects Opole to a broader historical conversation about national liberation.
