The Saxon Garden in Warsaw is a beautiful green park area in the center of the capital. Originally a geometric French garden, founded in 1724–1748 for King Augustus II the Strong, designed by Matthieu Daniel Peppelmann and Zacharias Longueulun in collaboration (from 1733) with Karl Friedrich Peppelmann and Johann Christoph von Naumann as the garden of the Saxon Palace. On May 27.1727, it was granted by the king to the residents of Warsaw. It was the first public park in the city. It was rearranged into an English landscape garden in 1816-1827 according to the project of James Savage.
Today, the much-reduced Saxon Garden covers an area of .15. 5 hectares, but it still attracts many tourists and locals, especially during military band concerts and ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which is also located here.
21 historic baroque sandstone sculptures dating from the eighteenth century have been preserved in the Saxon Garden.
The statues of sculptor Jan Jerzy Plers allegorically depict muses and virtues. Interesting objects in the garden are a water tower built in the shape of a temple and a wonderful garden fountain. In summer, the park is full of colorful flowers.
