Poland


Kolumna Zygmunta, Warsaw
[Sigismund's Column]

The monument commemorates King Sigismund III Vasa, who moved the capital of Poland to Warsaw from Kraków  in 1596.  The column sits in Castle Square and was badly damaged by the Germans during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944.

This card was sent by my father and mother to my paternal grandparents 41 years ago today on August 4, 1973.
