Located in Pilsudski Square, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is dedicated to the bravery of Polish soldiers during the First World War. It was erected in 1925 under a fragment of the portico, a single remaining feature of the old Saxon Palace. In the 18th century, sumptuous French style gardens were added to the Palace, before being redesigned in English-style in the 19th century., with nothing much left today except the central walk. Marching guards are a regular sight in the premise. However, the big ceremonial changing of the guard takes place every Sunday at noon.
