Warsaw Heroes Monument ‘Nike’ (Pomnik Bohaterów Warszawy „Nike”)

The ‘Nike’ monument sits atop a 14-metre column and displays the ancient goddess of victory as a symbol of Warsaw’s fighting spirit. The monument is dedicated to the heroes of Warsaw who fought and died for their homeland between 1939-1945. The figure was erected in 1964 on Plac Teatralny. In 1997 it was moved to its current place near the intersection of Warsaw’s W-Z Route and Nowy Przejazd Street, near the Old Town.
