Napoleon's Monument Unveiled in Warsaw

Like time, the site was not accidental. Before WW2 the square was named after Napoleon I and 90 years ago a monument of Napoleon sculptured by Jan Antoni Biernacki was erected there, but later destroyed during the war.

The ceremony was attended by French Ambassador to Poland Francois Barry Delongchamps and Warsaw city authorities.
