The Citadel is an impressive 19th century fortress, and one of the best-preserved buildings of defensive architecture in Poland. In addition to the barracks, the Citadel site housed the central investigative prison for political prisoners (in the X Pavilion), such as Romuald Traugutt and Józef Piłsudski. The Warsaw Citadel is one of the most important 'martyr museums' in Poland. The exhibitions illustrate the history of the Polish struggle for national liberation and social changes in the era of partition by presenting profiles of people who had been incarcerated there, events and organizations in which they were active participants; the timeline ranges from the plots for independence in the 1830's to the country's independence gained in 1918.
