| Ogrod park/War memorial/Supreme
court |
|
This is one of the oldest public parks in Poland.
It is located in the city center, close to the Grand Theatre.
Numerous sculptures, a sundial, and the most beautiful Warsaw
fountain make this a favorite place for walks. Children will find
here a large playground. It is also a great place for lovers of
skating, or scooter.
The monument commemorates the thousands
of heroes of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising who gave their lives for
their homeland, having fought against the occupiers for 63 days
under woefully uneven odds.
The Supreme Court. Erected at the end of
the 20th century. The building is decorated with caryatids of
virtuous symbols (faith, hope and love) and the columns are
engraved with maxims of Roman law in both Polish and Latin. The
building itself has a symbolic role in history, namely at its
front gate: during World War II, this gate was one of those which
led into the Jewish Ghetto.
