Chopin Monument & Temple of Sibyl [Pomnik Chopina i Świątynia Diany]

On entering the park proper, make your first port of call the Chopin Monument, sculpted by Witold Szymanowski and unveiled in 1926. It depicts Chopin sitting right here in Łazienki, next to a willow tree. The original sculpture was destroyed during WWII, and the one we admire today went up in 1958. During the summer impressive concerts take place around the statue almost every Sunday. Almost hidden in the trees a few metres from Chopin is the astonishing Temple of the Sibyl (closed to the public), an 1820s replica Greek Temple built entirely of wood. Look out too for a gaggle of other little buildings here such as the Hermitage, the Egyptian Temple and the Water Tower. None are currently open to the public.
