Pomnik Bolesława Chrobrego w Gnieźnie

The Boleslaw the Brave monument in Gniezno is an impressive historical monument commemorating the first crowned king of Poland. The 4.75-meter bronze statue of the ruler in armor, with a sword in his hand and a crown on his head, stands on a 4-meter high sandstone pedestal.

The pedestal is decorated with three bas-reliefs and the inscription 'Boleslaw Chrobry 1025-1925', commemorating the 900th anniversary of the Polish monarchy. The monument emphasizes the early existence of Polish statehood, which was crucial to national identity, especially after the country regained its independence in 1918.

It is an excellent excursion point for history buffs and those interested in Polish cultural heritage.
