The Pilsudski Square

Warsaw, Poland

Pilsudski Square (Polish: Plac Pilsudskiego) is Warsaw's largest square, located in downtown Warsaw, Poland.
The Square is named for Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, who was instrumental in the restoration of Polish statehood after World War I.

The square has been called successively:
- Saxon Square (Plac Saski, after Poland's Saxon kings' "Saxon Palace", destroyed in World War II, that used to stand adjacent to the square),
- Pilsudski Square (after Jozef Pilsudski),
- Adolf Hitler Platz during Germany's World War II occupation of Warsaw,
- Victory Square (Polish: Plac Zwyciestwa) in honor of Poland's and her allies' victory in World War II,
- and now is again called Pilsudski Square.

Pi³sudski Square is the site of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, housed in the remnants of the Saxon Palace.

I love the light and the cross. The cross stands so proud and strong and love the flowers and candles or whatever it is at the base of it. Beautiful image!v
