tower, monument, 1948_construction
Spire (Iglica, in Polish) is a needle-like monument, just in front of Centennial Hall. Initially it was 106 meters tall, now, after renovation the top 10 meters were removed.
It was built in 1948, by Polish communists for an exhibition to celebrate receiving the control over the “Regained Territories” after World War II.
The location was chosen by purpose, to take away the attention from the Centennial Hall built by Germans.
