The Old Town is anchored by 19th-century Lublin Castle, incorporating the medieval Holy Trinity Chapel, with its Byzantine frescoes.

A fantastic trip out from the centre of Lublin. Very interesting site to visit. Lots of information in 3 languages boards to read around the entire exhibition. Lots of walking involved to take in the entire place . Gas chamber, barracks etc all very harrowing to see. With free entry
An interesting place to visit, for all the wrong reasons I accept. I feel like everyone should see the conditions people were kept in, with the quotes dotted around often added extra significance.
An incredible place. Take a 3 hour guided tour to get the full horrific story of this concentration camp. So sad but amazing to see and hear the stories. You cannot imagine what it must have been like. The most shocking part for me was seeing the 430,000 shoes of those that died there.
I was truly moved and saddened that this could happen so close to populated areas and no one came to help ir protest everyday
A very powerful and emotional place. Majdanek is preserved with great respect - a heartbreaking reminder of history that should never be forgotten.
A sad place but a fundamental visit to understand more about this dark moment of our history. The museum is very well preserved and organized. The entrance is free but I would recommend to buy something from the bookstore, to contribute with the conservation. If possible, go on a weekday by morning, it opens 9am and the visit will be not crowded, so you can explore everything in your pace.
This is a eye watering place to visit due to the horrendous reasons behind it being there. We entered through the main gate and into the reception, we were then shown on a map whats what and how far it it’s to walk round it , I believe it was 4.6km . Hard to imagine just how hard it must have been but the whole place gives you somewhat of a view into the conditions . The stories you read on the wall again make your heart miss a beat , very very sad place to visit but a must if history and a real look into it is on your to do list.
Plenty of parking and easy to get to. There is a small car park charge but other then that access to the site is free. Be prepared for a fair amount of walking as the camp is fairly large but there are two further mini car parks on the museum site which would cut down the walk.

Slide 1 of 8
Visiting Zamek w Lublinie was an unforgettable experience that beautifully combined rich history, unique architecture, and a profound sense of cultural heritage. The building itself is visually striking—its elegant neo-Gothic façade, complete with turrets and arched windows, makes it one of the most iconic landmarks in Lublin. The castle's light-colored exterior and symmetrical structure create an inviting yet majestic atmosphere that draws you in from the moment you arrive. Inside, the castle houses the Lublin Museum, which showcases a wide range of exhibits reflecting the region’s historical and artistic legacy. One of the most fascinating aspects of this site is its layered history: originally established as a stronghold in the Middle Ages, it has served various roles over centuries—including a royal residence, prison, and now a cultural institution. What adds even more depth to the visit is the outdoor information board, which clearly explains the significance of the Castle Hill, the Union of Lublin, and the architectural transformations the site has undergone. It also outlines various cultural trails that pass through this location, making it an excellent starting point for exploring the broader historical context of Lublin. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city—whether you're a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or simply looking for a meaningful stop in Lublin.
Excellent exhibitions, including history related to living in Lublin area throughout the centuries, big numismatic collection, and very interesting temporary art exhibition dedicated to women's art from 1850 - 1950 plus exhibition of art of Tamara Lempicka. Highly recommended.
I’d give this place a 5/5 if I weren’t comparing it with Wawel or Prague’s castle. For 40zl, you get access to all of the permanent collections, the keep, and BEST of all, the incredible chapel. I came for this spot specifically, which honestly blew me away. A gorgeous and truly impressive example of Byzantine-Ruthenian artwork, dating back to the 15th century. I could spend hours in there. I’d love to come back for a detailed tour. I also greatly enjoyed the small exhibit of Russian icons, which were wonderfully displayed.
Make sure to download the "Muzeum Narodowego w Lublinie" app and inside the app a 300MB audio guide (if you download it at the Castle it will take up to an hour to finish). Otherwise the visit will feel a bit wasted. So far the least interesting castle in Poland. Half of the space is dedicated to paintings and the castle itself looks to be rebuilt and lacks it's medieval feel.
Beautiful castle with artefacts, paintings. Provides a great history of Lublin 300 - 500BC and how people lived. There was a beaitiful chapel with inages forom 600 years ago and two art exhibitions.
The castle has turned into a very good, rather big museum. So take your time and don't hurry. Expect to be approx 2 hours in the museum. And yes, buy also the ticket for the chapel (one the highlights in Lublin), that is UNESCO list! Different rooms/ galleries with different styles. Galleries with Lublin area history, icons, highlights of Polish painters, coins.
Worth visiting the tower. Go to the very top for scenic views of city.
Super interesting. Well conserved. Peace of history.

Amazing place to spend a day in Lublin! The territory is rather big, so it's definitely one day advature. A lot of animals, nice to watching them, they look healthy and happy😊 Great exposition of houses and village life. As well it was interesting to see restored old workshops, shops, a restaurant and a dental office from the beginning of the last century
Really enjoyed our visit here. For a small fee you can experience a recreation of a heritage village showing what home steads in Poland used to look like. There is lots of information here and it's a very pleasant way to spend a few hours or more outside. There is plenty of space so you could picnic here also as it's essentially like being in a large park. There was a bar / restaurant towards the end where we stopped for a beer.
A beautiful peaceful place for young and old alike. (Although a few small inclines). Some exhibitions/ souvenir shop close 15-30 minutes before the site closes. Worthy of a few hours to a full day. See old rural Poland in its glory and enjoy it at a leisurely pace. Parking may be a challenge at busy times. Sufficient toilets and restaurant. Would definitely and robably will go back again.
I came here hoping to learn more about my great grandmother who was originally from Kluczkowice. Seeing how houses were built and upheld around the time of her departure to the US in 1913 was very powerful. I felt alive and at home here. I enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds.
A fantastic location, with a good look into the history of Farm life in Poland some 3 or 4 hundred years ago. Very interesting for kids and adults alike. Highly recomended for a whole day out. You can feed the fish down at the lake. There are sheep, goats and a cow. As well as horses There is a kids petting area. There is also a Cafe and some local honey selling.
Lublin Village Open Air Museum is a very nice open-air museum, not so far from the centre of Lublin. On the huge area are located numerous gorgeous buildings from the Lublin Voivodeship surrounded by trees, bushes and other greenery. Between the old architecture are places in which traditional breeds of domesticated animals are kept or roam freely. This open-air museum allowed visitors of different ages not only to experience various aspects of the regional folk culture but also to learn interesting facts concerning the recent past. It also allows visitors to rest actively and to relax in the green places.
Quite unusual place. Most buildings were from around 1930s original, moved here. They have a history of families living in them attached. It is a quiet place, very good to chill and slow pace enjoying.
Fantastic place to visit where you could find the village life style few hundred years ago. I highly recommend to visit this once

Very interesting and great view from the top! Inside the tower there is a small museum related to the Archidiocesi and on the top there is a small bar where you can enjoy a coffee with the view (recommended on the sunset)
Cheap little climb to have some lovely views over the city. Lots of history as you walk up. Quite a few steps, but it’s not all in a spiral and is broke up.
15 zl/ ticket student 10 zl Towel with a lot Wood and stone sculptures have existed for a long time. On the top with coffee shop from 12 zl / water Should be visit to get beautiful sunset 😘 in Lublin . Thank God with wonderful history .
A place surely worth visiting. Plus: - beautiful view over the old town, great view at the church. - a nice shop at the top! With little cakes, which were delicious. - collection of various statues, instruments and a little sacramental coffin that, in the past, was being displayed in the church to remind people of their mortality. Minus: - the wooden steps are narrow and there is no control over the sequence of going up/down. There’s been moments of just passing by other people, which was uncomfortable, when it get crowded. I think they should keep people from walking in at the doors until at least half of the crowd goes down.
Very popular building in Lublin, Trynitarska tower which is located in city center, perfect place for begining Lublin old town tour. There is pretty good panorama view on the city, from the top of the tower. Place worth to visit during staying in Lublin.
Great experience!
The stairs are all part of the experience but the view from the top is worth it.
Highly recommended to anyone visiting Lublin. Best place to get the panoramic view of the city, especially the old town. Entrance is really cheap

Nice old town full of small places to visit.
Beautifull place with many pubs and restaurants in the middle of an old city. Close to the castle with a view on it from a point of view. Place- must to see..
Beautiful place😍
Interesting place where an old church used to be. Lots of bars, cafes and restaurants around the area and a great vantage point
Very picturesque place with loads of pubs serving cheap beer and good food. Reserve a couple of hours during lunch for good coffee or at least 4 hours in the evening to feel the climate of the place.

The most famous cathedral in Lublin) It is located in the centre if the city. Its design attracts visually and is impossible to ignore. The typical Baroque building attracts attention to the column and the tower. The church looks majestic inside. It has a rich artistic interior decoration which seems to be too pompous. There are some old relics and paintings of famous artists of the 17-18th centuries. It is a must visit place for tourists!
Very typical church structure and beautiful church. It has very big area and inside the church is adorable. Very high building and we can see all around the old city from top of the building. Inside the church is Very calm and peaceful. we can have mind relax by sitting inside the church. It is open for people who need to go inside and pray. There are many beautiful paintings inside the church and it is reflects traditional paintings.
Spectacular cathedral, one of the most amazing in Poland and a great example of Baroque style. The frescoes are very interesting as well, it all looks very new and well maintained Even at noon on a regular week day there are dozens of faithful coming here
Very beautiful and outstanding. Worth to visit and spend some time
Private parking . A city app does not apply here . Have a great time
Beautiful, but by reading the information boards you can feel you are not welcome there if you are in a cohabitation relationship. For all of you not participating in religion classes at school, don't even think to ask for confirmation or a wedding there. Building very well renovated. To be honest a but too much, especially when you leave the building to look around at all of falling apart blocks of flats, detached houses that seem to be occupied. Visas, American Express, and MasterCard accepted for donations. Plus for accepting donations for the good purpose. The payment terminal has an option in English also. The mass is broadcast online.
Nice historical church.

I did the guided tour of the gate and it was great! I felt like I got to know Lublin and its history better by doing this tour than by walking it. Definitely recommended.
We had a superb tour of the Jewish memorial archives. Very intimate with 5 of us on the English tour at 12pm. The guide was superb and tailored the tour to meet everyone's needs. The tour took almost 2 hours but the time flew by!
Incredible theater and museum serving as a continuing and historic gateway between past and present, Jewish and Polish. Performances based partly on the vital work being accomplished by the cultural center, which is slowly recovering information on the thousands of Jews who once made Lublin the powerful regional and European community it was - and, differently composed, remains. Part museum, part theater, part school, part archive. An important way to learn and honor the city’s traditions and tragedies. A must see experience. Contemporary exhibits in thoughtfully planned layout. Living history.
One of those places that I hope lives on forever. Theater, museum, research center and archive, this place has it all! The way they present the history of the Jewish story in Lublin is unlike any other place I've seen. Take the tour and allow time to go back and view all the pictures and exhibitions. You won't regret it.
An incredibly interesting place in Lublin where you can learn a lot about the Jewish history of the city and its inhabitants. There is a very interesting exhibition and lots of archive material - you could really call it an archive of memories and stories. It's really great to see that the people there are so committed to the history and culture of the city. The publications are also highly recommended. There are guided tours on various topics (also in English), which we highly recommend. We took part in a guided tour on the Jewish history of the city with Katarzyna and it was a great experience, she was very friendly and we learned a lot! An absolute recommendation if you come to Lublin!
The Jewish Gate, be sure to visit the theater/exhibition on the Jewish population, it's the best I've experienced in Lublin
incredible beautiful place, so much content its amazing

Very nice place to visit in the evening due to the light effects. There are nearby places to buy food so you can sit and eat or drink. There is also the Portal nearby that connects video to other Portals around the world which was a fun thing to see
I love this place. The atmosphere is nice, the fountains are a very nice place to sit in the warm sunshine and at night the lights make it even better. The most touristy thing in a town not set for tourists, which I love.
A beautiful place to relax and watch old and young enjoying themselves. The light, sound and visual of water creates a unique atmosphere. We stayed almost and hour only watching the color and rythme of the water. The kids playing fills the air with joy and laughter. Nice experience.
Amazing place to see, to feel, to enjoy! You can rest near the fountain, watch people enjoying this wonderful show. Atmisphere is amazing! At the day time it's super attraction for kids! It is the place - MUST SEE!
It's amazing! It seemed like I came back home to my favorite place in the world. My Kharkiv!!!
Fantastic experience everyday . Picturesque peaceful you don't get bored by coming back and see it again.

A really cool building. I spent a lot of time wandering around and exploring. So much to see
Interesting place to visit and walk around. It's free We found few exhibitions Great for creative photoshoots Totally recommend to visit rooftop for gardens and nice city view
I loved the place. Don't hesitate to enter the bookstore, where you can get great souvenirs. You can walk and see inside the building without a tax. Get to the top to see the bees and the view from the glass corridor. Enter the galleries and enjoy the art on every corner, on every wall, even hanging from the ceiling.
brand new and unique place where arts are located. Full of extravagant exhibitions, polish cinema, beer pub, Opera hall and amazing rooftop garden with beehives and visitors-friendly bees. We even tried some raspberries on the topfloor. So lovely! Must-visit in Lublin
One of the ugliest buildings in town, I guess it's a great place for theatre and other cultural events but I fail to grasp why they bothered to put it on the tourist map. Couldn't go to the roof, there is no guidance how to get there, maybe it was closed. I liked the photo exhibition with explanations in English. There's a bar here too
We very quickly visited it, due to our free time. But we were so impressed by the roof of glass. There is a great panorama of the city. Inside, Center also looked interesting and impressively. I am sure that there are so much to see. I recommend to visit it and want to return!
The architecture is just so interesting. Large corridors of concrete and rough brick stone and still this looks super modern

Monument dedicated to the Union of Lublin, an event that was crucial in the history of Poland and Lithuania. Nice spot in the center of town, a nice park nearby, a Catholic church worth visiting
Amazing spot after a long time strolling in the downtown city.
A big deal is made out of this monument not only for its historical significance but also for its appearance, but it fails to live up to the hype. Lublin has more impressive historical monuments.
Nice place there is a lots of trees and green around this place worth visiting especially it is located in Lublin's city centre
Center of Lublin. Nice to see and interesting story of this monument. Google it.
The Monument to the Union of Lublin is an outstanding historical landmark that beautifully commemorates one of the most significant events in European history. Located in a peaceful park setting, this monument marks the 1569 union between the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania—a pivotal moment that laid the foundation for a democratic and multicultural coexistence in Europe. The monument itself is an elegant obelisk rising from a small hill, giving it a sense of quiet dignity and prominence. The surrounding area is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a thoughtful stroll. There’s also an informative plaque nearby in both English and Polish, offering a concise summary of the importance of the Union of Lublin and explaining why this site earned the European Heritage Label. It’s a great opportunity to reflect on the values of cooperation, tolerance, and shared governance that are still relevant today. This is not just a photo spot, but a place with deep historical roots. Whether you're a history enthusiast or a casual traveler exploring Lublin, this monument offers a meaningful and educational experience. A must-see when visiting the city! Europe starts here, indeed.

I don't know why it is tagged "Wedding venue". It is such an understatement. It is far more than that. A historical building and cultural heritage is just a beginning.
Renew it. Just renew. The lights highlight the hopelessness of this precious object. We stayed in a great hotel with very soundproof windows. I loved Hotel Trybunalska and Avatar, but watching the police pass people making noise and openly drinking alcohol at seven in the morning when drinking alcohol in public areas in Poland is forbidden was very unpleasant. Double standards.
Nice building in center of Lublin.

(Translated by Google) A nice building in the center of the market square. (Original) Ładny budynek w centrum rynku.
(Translated by Google) The former town hall building, rebuilt many times, once even boasted a tall tower. Since the reign of Stefan Batory, it has housed the Crown Tribunal, the highest court for the nobility of Lesser Poland. The building's present appearance was achieved through a Classicist reconstruction in the 18th century. It's a shame it's somewhat neglected. (Original) Budynek dawnego ratusza miejskiego, wielokrotnie przebudowywany, swego czasu posiadał nawet wysoka wieżę. Od czasów Stefana Batorego urzędował tu Trybunał Koronny, najwyższy sąd dla szlachty Małopolskiej. Dzisiejsza formę budynek otrzymał w wyniku przebudowy w XVIII wieku w stylu klasycystycznym. Wielka szkoda, że jest trochę zaniedbany.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful, romantic place, especially in the snow. Once upon a time, it was where the devil said goodnight, but today it is usually a place teeming with life. Well, unless there's a snowstorm. Then it is quiet and peaceful and you can only hear snowflakes falling to the ground. (Original) Piękne, romantyczne miejsce, szczególnie w śnieżnej odsłonie.

A lot to see, beautiful space neatly displayed for 2 - hour walk or more... I will come back to see it again. A lot of work to keep it in such condition, so the tickets too cheap. Really.
Nice place for relaxation and long walks. There is a large free parking in front of the main gates. The entrance fee is 16, reduced price is 9. The paths go up and down all the time, so take this into consideration if it’s hard for you to walk. In the middle of the garden there are 2 ponds with ducks and ducklings. There are many types of trees, bushes and flowers blooming at different times. A little bit of everything! We came in spring, so quite a few plants were in bloom! There are benches to sit and rest/relax. You can also grab something to eat in the local cafe which offers tasty grilled sausages, fries, beverages and ice-cream. The botanic garden also has tropical plants to see in the green house, but it’s open only Mon thru Friday from 10am to 2pm, so keep this in mind when planning your visit. Definitely planning to go back. The main paths are the best to walk as they are better maintained then the side ones.
Lovely botanical garden with visitor friendly maps and items. Clean, well kept flora and pathways divided into regional and thematic sections. Perfect for a family hike or a quiet afternoon. Central bathrooms and cafe with coffee, beer, and snacks. Cafe area overlooks lake with long views. Nice for birding and exploring - just big enough to contain mysteries, but small enough to not be exhausting. Great value for the entrance fee. The ducks are quite friendly.
One of the biggest Botanical Gardens I've ever seen in Poland. We've arrived there in September so might not be the best time to go and see blossoming flowers and all those trees. But it was worth of it. It may take you more or less 90 min to see around. If you are a kind of person who like to take plenty of photos, it may take youu even more. Entrance fee is quite cheap and affordable. They also have discount for students. There's a lake inside the the park and also a place where you can go and grab or drink sth. In the time I went there, this place was closed but I assume it should be open during the season. I completely recommend you to see that beautiful place especially if you are a person who likes they nature.
The place is really beautiful and there are numerous kinds of plants here. If anyone want to escape from the reality a bit, here is a great choice !
Very nice walk through nature. Quiet and peace!
Nice selection of plants of all regions. A bit untidy in places.

The Saxon Garden in Lublin is a true gem in the heart of the city – an ideal place for a relaxing stroll at any time of year. In spring, it enchants with fresh blossoms and vibrant greenery; in summer, it offers cool shade and a pleasant escape from the heat; in autumn, it dazzles with a spectrum of colors; and in winter, it transforms into a serene, almost magical landscape under a blanket of snow. It’s a wonderful spot for meeting friends, unwinding, or even staying active, with pathways perfect for walking or jogging. Here, you can feel a true harmony with nature without leaving the city’s vibrant atmosphere.
Beautiful park, comfortable place for walking.
Nice quiet place to rest in the center.
Quite a popular park in the central part of Lublin. It has a small fountain, a playground, a stage for different performances and a cafe for peacocks. You can also see peacocks wandering around. At the main entrance you can also get some ice cream in summer time. The park has many benches, but because of the birds it’s not possible to use quite a few of them :) For unknown reasons the paths in the park can switch from cobblestone to asphalt or dirt road. You can be walking one way and the asphalt will suddenly stop and you’ll end up on small gravel path… All in all many people come here to spend some time
The young peacocks are already walking around the runway. So much fun. The Bosco ice cream has lost its flavor, which is a shame.
Really nice and spacious playground for kids, with variety of equipment! There are also peacock that are sometimes aloud to walk freely under eye of the carer. Amazing place to chill with kiddies near the city centre
Tranquil park with lots of nice features including ponds, bridges and peacocks. Well worth a wander.
Lovely Central Park next to the Lublin old city and opera. Shallow hills, shady trees, scenic stations like bridges and full of bridges. Birdsongs. Playground at center full of novel challenges. Fun for the family, or bring a book alone.

Equestrian statue (total height 7.3m) atop a tall pedestal. Marshal, draped in a long coat, holds the reins of the mare. Front of the pedestal bears the inscription: FIRST MARSHAL OF POLAND JÓZEF PIŁSUDSKI 5 XII 1867–12 V 1935
(Translated by Google) A beautiful monument depicting Józef Piłsudski on a horse, next to the monument to the unknown soldier. One of the most distinguished Poles, appreciated and respected. He had a huge influence on the shape of the internal and foreign policy of the Second Polish Republic. (Original) Piękny pomnik przedstawiający Józefa Piłsudskiego na koniu, przy pomniku nieznanego żołnierza. Jeden z najbardziej zasłużonych Polaków, doceniany i szanowany. Miał ogromny wpływ na kształt polityki wewnętrznej i zagranicznej II RP.
(Translated by Google) The Józef Piłsudski Monument in Lublin is one of those places definitely worth seeing while visiting Litewski Square. The monument was unveiled on November 10, 2001, and was designed by Jan Raszka in 1937. Initially planned to be erected before World War II, historical events prevented the project from being realized for decades. It wasn't until the early 21st century that it was finally realized. Quotes from Piłsudski are inscribed on the plinth, encouraging reflection on patriotism, responsibility, and the significance of the past. These are not just decorative maxims, but messages that are still relevant today, provoking a moment of reflection. The monument embodies the cityscape not only as a tourist attraction, but above all as a symbolic place—a reminder of the values ​​that shaped Polish history. It's definitely worth visiting, pausing for a moment, and considering this place not only as a work of art but also as a vehicle for important ideas. (Original) Pomnik Józefa Piłsudskiego w Lublinie to jedno z tych miejsc, które zdecydowanie warto zobaczyć, będąc na Placu Litewskim. Monument został odsłonięty 10 listopada 2001 roku i powstał według projektu Jana Raszki z 1937 roku. Pierwotnie planowano postawić go jeszcze przed II wojną światową, jednak wydarzenia historyczne sprawiły, że projekt przez dziesięciolecia pozostawał niezrealizowany. Dopiero na początku XXI wieku udało się go urzeczywistnić. Na cokole umieszczono cytaty Piłsudskiego, które zachęcają do refleksji nad patriotyzmem, odpowiedzialnością i znaczeniem przeszłości. To nie tylko ozdobne sentencje, ale przesłania aktualne również dzisiaj, mogące skłonić do chwili zadumy. Pomnik wpisuje się w przestrzeń miasta nie tylko jako atrakcja turystyczna, ale przede wszystkim jako miejsce symboliczne - przypomnienie o wartościach, które kształtowały historię Polski. Zdecydowanie warto odwiedzić, zatrzymać się choć na chwilę i spojrzeć na to miejsce nie tylko jak na dzieło sztuki, lecz także jako na nośnik ważnych idei.
(Translated by Google) Interesting shot of the marshal. Wise slogans on the sides of the plinth, especially the one about history. Unfortunately, the character has been problematic lately. As historians have recently argued, we owe little to Piłsudski in regaining independence. This one was won by I. Paderewski, R. Dmowski, General J. Haller, W. Korfanty, W. Witos and representatives of the Regency Council. We owe the victory in the Battle of Warsaw to General T. Rozwadowski and not to the later Commander. Piłsudski's inept leadership caused the Bolsheviks to reach Warsaw. The figure of Piłsudski was created after the May Coup in 1926. Piłsudski wanted to start an uprising in Poland in 1914 and side with Germany. Then there would be no chance for independence. Haller's fighting in France and the victory of the Entente countries made it possible to regain independence. Polish troops participated in the Victory Parade in 1919 in Paris. (Original) Ciekawe ujęcie marszałka. Mądre hasła na bokach cokołu, zwłaszcza to o historii. Niestety, postać ostatnio problematyczna. Jak ostatnio dowodzą historycy to niewiele zawdzięczamy Piłsudskiemu w odzyskaniu niepodległości. Tę wywalczyli I. Paderewski, R. Dmowski, gen. J. Haller, W. Korfanty, W. Witos czy przedstawiciele Rady Regencyjnej. Zwycięstwo w bitwie warszawskiej zawdzięczamy gen. T. Rozwadowskiemu a nie późniejszemu Naczelnikowi. Piłsudski nieudolnym dowodzeniem doprowadził do tego, że bolszewicy doszli pod Warszawę. Postać Piłsudskiego została wykreowana po przewrocie majowym w 1926r. Piłsudski chciał wywołać w 1914 r. powstanie w Polsce i stanąć po stronie Niemiec. Wtedy nie byłoby szans na niepodległość. Podjęcie walk przez Hallera na terenie Francji i zwycięstwo państw ententy umożliwiło odzyskanie niepodległości. Oddziały polskie uczestniczyły w Defiladzie Zwycięstwa w 1919 w Paryżu.
(Translated by Google) The Józef Piłsudski Monument in Lublin, unveiled on November 10, 2001, is one of the city's most important national memorials. Located in Litewski Square, in the city's central part, the monument depicts the Marshal on horseback, wearing a long coat, reining in his mare, Kasztanka. The monument's total height is over 7.3 meters, with the equestrian figure itself measuring approximately 3.3 meters. (Original) Pomnik Józefa Piłsudskiego w Lublinie, odsłonięty 10 listopada 2001 roku, stanowi jedno z ważniejszych miejsc pamięci narodowej w mieście. Zlokalizowany na Placu Litewskim, w centralnej części miasta, pomnik przedstawia Marszałka na koniu, w długim płaszczu, wstrzymującego wodzami swoją klacz, Kasztankę. Całkowita wysokość pomnika wynosi ponad 7,3 metra, w tym sama figura konna ma około 3,3 metra wysokości.
(Translated by Google) I remember how great adventures took place during the construction of the monument due to the lack of consent from the city architect. The monument refers to standard implementations of this type, i.e. a hero on a horse. Currently, it is the dominant aspect of Litewski Square and is certainly very characteristic. (Original) Pamiętam jak wielkie przygody odbywały się w momencie budowy pomnika, w związku z brakiem zgody architekta miejskiego. Pomnik nawiązuje do standardowych tego typu realizacji, czyli bohater na koniu. Obecnie jest to dominujący aspekt placu Litewskiego, na pewno jest bardzo charakterystyczny.
(Translated by Google) It stands proudly in Litewski Square, as if the Marshal had just stopped Kasztanka to gaze upon a city that had endured so much. Unveiled on November 10, 2001, it was built according to a pre-war design from 1937 by Jan Raszka – a member of the Polish Legions and a friend of Piłsudski. The equestrian statue, over 7 meters high, is not just a work of art – it is a symbol of remembrance, courage, and independence. The Marshal, in his long coat, holding reins in hand, seems to say, “Remember where you came from.” And the quotations on the pedestal remind us that history is not just the past – it is an obligation. (Original) Dumnie wznosi się na Placu Litewskim, jakby Marszałek właśnie zatrzymał Kasztankę, by spojrzeć na miasto, które tak wiele przeszło. Odsłonięty 10 listopada 2001 roku, powstał według przedwojennego projektu Jana Raszki z 1937 roku – legionisty i przyjaciela Piłsudskiego. Statua konna, wysoka na ponad 7 metrów, to nie tylko dzieło sztuki – to symbol pamięci, odwagi i niepodległości. Marszałek w długim płaszczu, z wodzami w dłoni, zdaje się mówić: „Pamiętajcie, skąd przyszliście”. A cytaty na cokole przypominają, że historia to nie tylko przeszłość – to zobowiązanie..
(Translated by Google) Great Pole. Marshal Piłsudski commemorated on his beloved mare Kasztana. The inseparable couple probably best reflects the image of our interwar father of the nation. Nice monument. (Original) Wielki Polak. Marszałek Piłsudski upamiętniony na swojej ukochanej klaczy Kasztance. Nieodłączna para, chyba najbardziej oddaje obraz naszego międzywojennego ojca narodu. Ładny pomnik.
