The somber walk across the square to the tomb, or the quiet stroll thru the park to get to the backside of this monument sets the mood. Once located in the center of a multi story palace, this shrine to the soldiers, sailors, and airmen of poland transcends the politics of the past and honors those who have served their nation. Tomb guards change hourly, rain, sun, sleet or snow, 24/7.
A quiet place to review Poland's place in history.

Looking at the fire burning in it makes one realize that life is more than hamburgers and pop....it makes one also realize that to a suprising majority it is...

If you are interested in history this monument lists the many places where Poles have fought for our freedom & their's. I say our's because the Polish - Soviet War of 1919-1921, is when the Poles stopped the Red Army in their march to Paris. You will also see familiar names like Monti Cassino & others in WWII. No one sufferred more ...

Make sure you get there for the changing of the guard, because apart from that there isn't much going on. Make sure you read up about the significance of the site before you go, otherwise it's just another pile of beautiful bricks.

It is not the only interesting thing in poland. You must have not seen much if you thought. How ignorant. There's so many historical and fun things to do in Poland. It's Great!
