King Jagiello Monument, Bronze equestrian monument in Central Park, United States
The bronze monument depicts King Władysław II Jagiełło mounted on horseback, holding two crossed swords raised high above his head at 7 meters tall.
Created for the 1939 New York World's Fair Polish pavilion, the statue remained in the United States following Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland.
The monument represents the Polish victory at the Battle of Grunwald in 1410, where Polish-Lithuanian forces defeated the Teutonic Order.
Located near Turtle Pond and Belvedere Castle, visitors can access the monument via the East Side of Central Park at 79th Street.
The granite base, designed by Parks architect Aymar Embury II, bears inscriptions of POLAND on both sides and details about King Jagiello's titles.
