- King Sigismund’s Column (Kolumna Zygmunta) - Sigismund’s Column is the oldest public memorial in Warsaw, but it is not in its original location. It was moved when the axis of Krakowskie Przedmieście Street was changed in the 19th century and again after World War II during the development of the WZ route. On September 2, 1944, the column was brought down by German troops. The reconstruction of the statue and the column itself was completed in 1949. Earlier columns are exhibited next to the walls of the King’s Castle (as seen from the direction of the WZ route). The column is one of the city’s key symbols, yielding only to the Mermaid, which is the most recognizable symbol of Poland’s capital city.
