Sigismund's Column (Kolumna Zygmunta III Wazy)
The oldest and tallest secular monument in Warsaw was raised in 1644 by King Władysław IV, in honour of his father Zygmunt III Waza, who in 1596 moved the capital from Krakow to Warsaw. The monument stands 22 metres high with the actual figure of the King measuring 275 cm. The sword he holds in his right hand symbolises bravery, while the cross he holds in his left hand symbolises his readiness to fight evil. According to legend, should the King’s sword fall downward, disaster is sure to follow. The statue fell during World War II and its destroyed column placed inside the Royal Castle, where it can still be seen today. (x)The Column is not 1:1, I just tried to build it as close I could. Also this is going to be the first of few columns I would be posting. Hope y'all enjoy it and thanks for the support!
(Also if there is someone out there who wants to help me adit the pics and make them pretty, I would appreciate it if you contact me :D)
