The monument to Adam Mickiewicz near Warsaw was erected on the square, which was created as a legacy of the extensive jurisdiction of Dziekanka, to replace the fountain moved to Bankowy Square. The monument itself, created by the sculptor Cyprian Godebski, was later integrated into the works by Jó zef Pie Dziekoń ski and Wł adysł aw Marconi.
The statue of a 4.5 meter curl was made in Italy. Column and pedestal of a monument made of granite, made from quarries near Baveno, Pié mont. In Warsaw, they vikorized two varieties of Baven granite: horny with a granular structure and a series. The architectural design of the monument attracts respect with its progressive color scheme: from the dark gray descent from the granite from Podillia, through the terraced pedestal from the granite from Baveno, to light gray different types of granite in the column.
The well-thought-out fence of the monument behind the design of Zenon Chrzanovsky has a wrought-iron lattice with flower motifs that was produced by the Warsaw firm of S. Zelezinsky. All the courtyards of the noblemen were located along the edges of the fence.
The monument was unveiled on the 24th anniversary of 1898, up to the 100th anniversary of the national poet’s day. A short ceremony in the presence of police and army of the Russian authorities surrounded the monument. Promotions were blocked, and only requested guests with receipts were allowed to enter. The censors were ordered to keep mysteries about the ceremony to a minimum, and Mickiewicz’s portraits were removed from art exhibitions and bookstore displays. The ceremony is planned for less than a quarter of a year. It was born with the work of Stanislav Moniuszko, after which the sculpture was born. After the consecration of the monument to the Mavs, Henryk Sienkiewicz will speak. However, through the overlaps, we continued throughout the entire ceremony. Then the orchestra played another performance of Monyushka, and the attendants began laying tributes to the monument.
In 1944, the monument was dismantled by the Germans and taken to the Reich, and after the war in Hamburg, the Polish military mission discovered and obtained, among others, a fragment of a head and a tuba. A copy of the copy was made by Jan Szczepkowski in collaboration with Jó zef Trenarowski. The pedestal and fence have also been restored. The monument was re-discovered on 28 June 1950 by Boleslav Berut, in line with the anniversary of Rock Mickiewicz.
However, during the reconstruction of the monument, the candles that were in the corners of the balustrade at the foot of the monument were not renewed. Work on their reconstruction began in 1978. The candles were restored in 1986.
