Wilson Square is an urban square and roundabout, located in the
Żoliborz area of Warsaw, Poland. Constructed around 1923, close to Sokolnicki Fort, part of the
Warsaw Citadel, the square was designed by Józef Jankowski, Antoni Jawornicki, and Tadeusz Tołwiński. Initially named after Polish novelist
Stefan Żeromski, the square was renamed in 1926 in honour of the recently-deceased US president
Woodrow Wilson. The buildings around the square were partially destroyed in 1944, during World War II, and it was remodelled in 1955. The modern square features a lawn and greenery with a road running through it, as well as
tram tracks and the
Plac Wilsona metro station. This photograph shows an aerial view of Wilson Square from the south-east.
