Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Many visitors to Warsaw each year come to appreciate its unique history, spend a day in one of its many museums or relax in the modern neo renaissance surroundings of the Old Town.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a monument dedicated to unknown Polish soldiers who gave their lives for Poland.
This famous Warsaw tomb was erected to replace the stone tablet, adjacent to the Saxon Garden, etched with the names of fallen soldiers in WWI and the Polish Soviet War.
In 1925, the Polish Ministry of War selected a battlefield from which ashes of a fallen solider would be brought home to Warsaw. Lwów was chosen of some 40 battles, three coffins were unearthed and taken to their final resting place, at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, along with 14 urns, each containing soil from various battlegrounds.
