Constitution Square (Warsaw)

Constitution Square (Polish: Plac Konstytucji) is a major square in the Śródmieście district of Warsaw, Poland.

The square was constructed in the initial post-war years on the Marszałkowska street as a main element of socrealist urban project. Together with the Palace of Culture and Science it was the main architectural socrealist investment of Warsaw in 1949-1956. Its name comes from Stalinist constitution adopted in communist Poland in July 1952. Architects envisaged the square to be the final point of First of May parades.[1]
