Bogusław X and Anna Jagiellonian Monument in Szczecin
Szczecin, Poland
The statues of Bogislaw X and Anna Jagiellon (Pomnik Bogusława X i Anny Jagiellonki) is a monument in Szczecin, Poland, placed on Korsarzy Street in front of the Ducal Castle, within the neighbourhood of Old Town. It is dedicated to duke Bogislaw X (1454–1523), who unified the Duchy of Pomerania in 1478, and ruled it until 1523, and his wife, duchess Anna Jagiellon (1476–1503), who was the daughter of Casimir IV Jagiellon, the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania. The two figures were chosen for the commemoration, to emphasize the historical connection of Poland to the region of Western Pomerania. The monument takes form of the sandstone statues depicting Bogislaw X and Anna Jagiellon. It was designed by Leonia Chmielnik and Anna Paszkiewicz-Sawicka, and unveiled on 22 July 1974.
