Monument to the 250th Anniversary of the Victory at Vienna in Kraków

The Monument to the 250th Anniversary of the Victory at Vienna is a commemorative stone with a plaque, standing on the Błonia meadow, by aleja Ferdynanda Focha. According to the Wikipedia entry it lies in Półwsie Zwierzynieckie, in the Zwierzyniec district, and is dedicated to the anniversary of the victory at Vienna.

What it looks like

The monument takes the form of a block of Jurassic limestone 3.5 metres high. A plaque with an inscription is placed on the stone. It is a raw mass of rock, without a carved figure, so what is most legible is the plaque and the place where it was set.

The place

The monument stands on the Błonia, by aleja Focha, in the Zwierzyniec district. It is about 800 metres from Henryk Jordan Park, and the place is easy to combine with a walk around the area.

Nearby, about 1.2 km from the monument, is the Kościuszko Mound in Kraków.
