A neat place. I recommend visiting

A monument of considerable size, located at ŁDK. The square with the monument is equipped with several masts, so this place is suitable for organizing intimate ceremonies with flags. There is not much space here. The area is currently being renovated and the street will be moved further south. Apparently the plans are to enlarge the square, and then the area around the monument will be more functional.
