Cemeteries and monuments in Szczecin's Centrum: Colleoni on Lotników square, the Sailor Monument and King Matt the First. Three free sculptures.
In this part of the city the category comes down to monuments rather than cemeteries. Decades separate the three sculptures and their stories differ, but all of them stand in the open and can be seen without a ticket.
Pomnik Bartolomeo Colleoniego w Szczecinie (Bartolomeo Colleoni Monument) is an equestrian statue of a condottiere on Lotników square. It copies a Renaissance monument in Venice, cast in 1909 in a German factory for the city museum. The Szczecin replica travelled a long way before it reached its present spot.
Pomnik Marynarza w Szczecinie (Sailor Monument) stands on Grunwaldzki square, in line with Jana Pawła II avenue. The copper sculpture from 1980 shows a helmsman at the wheel, his scarf blowing in the wind. The Królewska and Portowa gates are close by, which makes it a natural stop on a walk past historic landmarks.
Pomnik Króla Maciusia I (King Matt the First Monument) on Rayskiego street commemorates Janusz Korczak. The granite figure of the hero of his book is 145 centimetres tall, and Matt looks at a nightingale held in his hands. Its unveiling fell on 1 June 1961, and it has stood on its present street since 2013.
All three carry the "Rzeźba" (sculpture) and "Bezpłatne" (free) tags. For more, look at the historic landmarks of Centrum or its atmospheric places. The whole category sits at Cmentarze i pomniki, and a general overview of the district is under attractions in Centrum.
