The Four Legionnaires by Czesław Dźwigaj, 2008
Józefa Piłsudskiego
Kraków, September 2018
“Slightly further on you can find an extensive sculpture composed of a statue of Józef Piłsudski, the Four Legionnaires, and a flag post: a memorial for which Kraków had to wait for a long time. The idea of building a monument to Piłsudski in Kraków’s Błonia Common was already hatched in 1922, that is in the lifetime of the Marshal, yet it was never brought into effect. The monument by Czesław Dźwigaj was finally put up on the small square on the corner of Wenecja, Garncarska and Piłsudskiego streets, and unveiled on 10 November 2008, on the eve of the 90th anniversary of regaining independence.” (Marshal Józef Piłsudski Street, Kraków Travel)
