    Makes you stop and reflect on that which most of us take for granted cost others their lives in a struggle for freedom.

    This must be the strangest monument in Szczecin. The Venetian condotiero of Lombard origin Bartolomeo Colleoni probably never heard of Szczecin and, in turn, his military achievements were not heard of in Szczecin until 1913 when a local businessman decided to grace the city museum with a collection of ancient and Renaissance sculptures. As he could not afford the originals, he settled on high quality copies. This was the biggest piece of the collection, a perfect copy of the original which still graces one of the Venetian squares. After the war the monument was transferred to Warsaw where it was ultimately given to the Academy of Fine Arts and placed in the yard of the building. In the 1990s Szczecin wanted the monument back but the Academy refused to yield it. Ultimately, a settlement was reached - the Academy received a copy of the copy while the original copy was brought back to Szczecin in 2001 and placed on the Plac Lotników (Pilots' Square).
    Quite obviously, it does not really commemorate the great Italian military commander of the Renaissance, it is now more of a piece of the German past of Szczecin which the communist authorities tried to erase immediately after the war but modern citizens of Szczecin are ready to embrace and cherish.

    One big controversy for some, and for me a bigger or smaller visionary. The president was killed in the Smolensk crash in April 2010. Memory is alive among many social environments. Who would have expected his opponents that his fears of Imperial Russia would come true?

    Symbol and monument to the ties between Western Pomerania and Poland. One of the first post-war artifacts of Polish presence in these lands. It presents a monument to the princely couple who once ruled from Szczecin over the West Pomeranian Duchy. it was the period of the Renaissance or the late Middle Ages. The monument is made of sandstone so it is a bit weakened by time.
