[1] This 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall, bronze and granite statue[2] is located near Piłsudski's Square and the Hotel Europejski, at Tokarzewski-Karaszewicz Street.

[3] The monument, cast in the Polish Navy Shipyards,[2] was unveiled on 14 August 1995, on the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Warsaw, which was commanded by Piłsudski.

[3] The unveiling was attended by the President of Poland, Lech Wałęsa, and Piłsudski's daughter, Jadwiga Piłsudska.

[4] The original plans called for the monument to be raised at Na Rozdrożu Square, but were later modified to site it near the Łazienki.

[5] Others have specifically criticized the fact that the location of the monument causes Polish soldiers to often face away from it during the guard change ceremony at the nearby Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Warsaw, and during the observances for Polish Independence Day, which they regard as disrespectful.
