Opposite the castle, in the center of the square, this column was built in 1664, in memory of King Sigismund III Vasa, who transferred the capital from Krakow to Warsaw. Destroyed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt and the bronze statue, miraculously spared, was replaced at the top of the building. In his right hand, the king holds a sword symbolizing courage, in his left a cross, symbolizing the eternal will to fight evil.

Une statue qui se trouve sur la place Krakowski Przedmiescie. Au sommet de la colonne le statue de roi Sigismond III qui tient un croix et un sabre dans ses mains.La colonne est un grand point de référence pour la vieille ville de Varsovie.

To see, it is the gateway to the famous district of Stare Miasto. Moreover Sigismund III is the king who made of Warsaw the capital of Poland.
