Plac Litewski

The Political Science building is located on Plac Litewski (Lithuania Square).  The square has been renamed several times in recent history:  during WWII it was Hitler Square, after WWII it was Stalin Square, following the end of communism, it became Lithuania Square.   My department head explained that because Poland and Lithuania formed one of the first Unions in Europe (over 500 years ago), they are very close. The statue is Josef Pilsudski "the first Polish Marshal"  1867-1935.  The building below is the Wydzial Politologii (Political Science Department).  The bottom picture is the front entry of the building.
