Kornel Ujejski Monument in Szczecin

The Kornel Ujejski Memorial (Polish pronunciation: [ˈkɔr.nɛl uˈjɛj.ski], Pomnik Kornela Ujejskiego, ', Pam'yatnyk Kornelyu Uyeysʹkomu) is a monument in Szczecin, Poland, within the Downtown district. It is placed at the Victory Square, near the Harbour Gate, within the neighbourhood of New Town. It is dedicated to Kornel Ujejski (1823–1897), a 19th-century Romantic poet and political activist. The monument has a form of a bronze bust placed on a granite pedestal. It was designed by Antoni Popiel, and originally unveiled in Lviv, then located in the Second Polish Republic, and now in Ukraine. The monument was placed in front of the City Cassino at 13 Shevchenko Avenue (then known as Academic Street), which is now occupied by the Lviv Regional Universal Scientific Library. The monument was taken down in 1946, and returned to Poland in 1950, where it was displayed in the Wilanów Garden in Warsaw until 1956. It was unveiled at the Victory Square on 27 November 1956. Originally, it was placed near the St. Adalbert Church, and was moved closed to the Harbour Gate in the 1970s.
