A Monument of Socialist Realism
Constitution Square is the central point of the Marszałkowska Residential District (MDM), built in the 1950s on the ruins of pre-war Warsaw. It is the most representative example in the city, and in all of Poland, of monumental socialist realist architecture, featuring sculptures of leading workers and huge candelabras.
