    A beautiful park and recreational area in the middle of the city.

      The Saxon Garden is one of the oldest city parks in Warsaw, located in the city center. Founded in the early 18th century as a palace garden, in 1727 it became the first public park in Poland. Initially maintained in the French style, in the 19th century it was transformed into a landscape park. For years it was a place of recreation, concerts and cultural events. Partially destroyed during World War II, it was restored after 1945. The park includes, among others, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Marconi Fountain and numerous historic sculptures.

        The garden was laid out in the Baroque style between 1713 and 1733 at the instigation of the Saxon-Polish King Augustus II the Strong from the House of Wettin. In 1727, the king opened the garden for use by the public, which was the first time this had happened in Poland.[1] In the mid-19th century, the planner Enrico Marconi created a pond, a water reservoir in the shape of the Temple of Vesta from Tivoli and a large fountain (1855). The 21 allegorical sandstone sculptures in the park were mostly created in the workshop of Johann Georg Plersch. They show the four seasons, the sciences and the arts.
