Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is defined by three lone, neoclassical arches that stand isolated on Piłsudski Square. These stone remnants are the only surviving section of the once-grand Saxon Palace, which was destroyed by German forces in nineteen forty-four following the Warsaw Uprising. Beneath this surviving colonnade, an eternal flame burns day and night, guarded constantly by members of the Polish Armed Forces.
