Józef Sowiński Monument in Warsaw, Military memorial in Wola district, Warsaw, Poland.
The Józef Sowiński Monument is a bronze statue depicting the general standing at attention, located in Sowiński Park in Warsaw's Wola district. The park surrounds the statue with trees and open spaces, providing a green setting for the memorial.
The monument was erected in 1937 to honor General Sowiński, who died in 1830 while fighting Russian forces during an uprising. His death during this conflict made him a symbol of Polish resistance.

The monument is located within Sowiński Park and can be reached through several street entrances including Wolska, Elekcyjna, and Pustola streets. Visitors can walk through the park to reach the statue easily.
During World War II, German forces positioned heavy artillery in the area surrounding the monument. This part of the park's history reveals how the same location held different military importance across different conflicts.
