The Warsaw Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was opened on November 2.1925 under the colonnade of the Saxon Palace. On this day, the remains of a nameless soldier, brought during a special ceremony from the cemetery of the defenders of Lviv, were laid to him. The artist-sculptor Stanislav Kazimir Ostrovsky was the creator of the grave. At the end of the Second World War, the grave was seriously damaged as a result of an explosion. Already in 1946, the monument was rebuilt and reopened. Currently, it is a three-arcade fragment of the preserved colonnade of the Saxon Palace.→
