10 Monuments & Statues in Gdansk That You Shouldn't Miss

September 17, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

One of Poland’s most beautiful cities, Gdansk, on the Baltic Sea, has played major roles in history, especially in the 20th-century. It was the 1939 flash point of World War II, and then in 1980, the birthplace of the Solidarnosc labor movement, ushering the end of Communist domination in Eastern Europe. Gdansk’s Old Town, painstakingly reconstructed to its Hanseatic League glory after being leveled in World War II, is a highlight. The 14th-century Town Hall houses the city’s historical museum.

Three Crosses Monument

An honouring monument to those who died in the Gdansk shipyard protest. The monument is huge. It towers above you. Located outside the Solidarity Museum, so easy to find.

A statue of one of Gdansk and Poland's greatest Generals who led the Polish Army to Victory, some great places to eat nearby and a must try is the Milk Bar where traditional Polish food is served at unbelievably low prices
