In front of Saxon Palace lay Saxon Square, known today as Pilsudski Square.<\/p>\n<p>In 1925, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was housed in the arcade that connected the two wings of the palace.<\/p>\n<p>In 1944, after the Warsaw Uprising,\u00a0the occupying Nazi Army blew up Saxon Palace. The only part that survives today is the section of the arcade that housed the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.<\/p>\n<p>Of the four sculptures shown below, two are called Chwa\u0142a (Glory), one is Prawda (Truth), and one is Rze\u017cbiarstwo (Sculpture). Since these sculptures were repaired many times since constructed in the 17th century, it is likely that the sculpture I have called Chwa\u0142a\u00c2\u00a0II is misnamed. In addition, the sculpture named Prawda\u00c2\u00a0should be called\u00c2\u00a0Pouczenie (Instruction).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6184\" style=\"width: 419px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Chwala-I.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6184\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6184 \" title=\"Chwala I\" src=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Chwala-I-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Chwala I\" width=\"409\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6184\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chwala I<\/p><\/div>\n<p>SOURCE: Chwa\u0142a I (Saxon Garden, Warsaw, Poland).
