The mound was built in the first half of the 19th century. on Bronislava Hill on the outskirts of Krakow. The mound, 34 m high, is surrounded by a fortress wall, and a memorial stone with the inscription "Kościuszce" is installed on its top. In the wars of the 20th century, it was used for military purposes; a defensive fortress was also built here. A part of the preserved fort now houses a museum dedicated to the memory of Kosciuszko and the history of the fortress. This architectural complex also houses a café and a gift shop. Convenient paths lead to the top of the mound, where benches are installed and an observation deck is equipped with Krakow and the surrounding area.
