history
The 5.74 hectare green area was created in the second half of the 19th century. In 1866 the park was laid out on the area of the filled-in Ohle (pl. Oława ).
Several buildings were built around the park in the 19th century, including what is now the National Museum . Many of them were destroyed in World War II. As a result, the park was expanded after the war. Between 1961 and 1967 the Racławice Panorama was built in the northern part of the park . In 1979 the sculpture group Expectation (Polish: Oczekiwanie ) was added, in 1984 the monument to Juliusz Słowacki. In 2000 the memorial to the victims of the Katyn massacre was unveiled.
Today you can find a large number of different plant and animal species in the park.
