The Union of Lublin Monument, Lublin, Poland

It is located on Lithuanian Square, commemorates the signing of the Polish-Lithuanian Union on July 1, 1569 — one of the pivotal events in the history of Poland and Lithuania. The monument’s location is not accidental, as this was where the Lithuanian nobility camped and where parliamentary sessions related to the union were held.

The first monument at this site was erected in 1569 on the initiative of King Sigismund II Augustus. It was a quadrilateral stone-and-brick obelisk with two stone statues symbolizing a Pole and a Lithuanian, or possibly Władysław Jagiełło and Queen Jadwiga. It was dismantled in 1819.

The current monument was unveiled on August 26, 1826, thanks to the efforts of Stanisław Staszic. The design was prepared by Feliks Bentkowski (concept) and Paweł Maliński (bas-reliefs). The monument takes the form of a 13-meter iron obelisk on a square masonry pedestal with granite slabs. On the front of the pedestal, there is a gilded bas-relief depicting two female figures symbolizing the Polish Crown and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, who are shaking hands. Between them are coats of arms — the White Eagle on the Polish side and the Lithuanian Pursuer (Pogoń) on the Lithuanian side.

The significance of the monument is emphasized by the fact that it commemorates the multicultural and multireligious history of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, as well as the Union of Lublin itself as a symbol of lasting unity. The monument is part of the Jagiellonian Trail of the Union of Lublin and was honored with the European Heritage Label in 2007.

"Campaigners from #Uganda, #Bangladesh & other #Commonwealth nations gathered to highlight the fact that 29 Commonwealth countries still criminalise same-sex relationships - nearly all under laws derived from Britain’s colonial-era penal codes. Most former #colonies retained these statutes after #independence. The LGBT+ campaigners from Commonwealth countries where being #gay is still a crime, marched to Buckingham Palace to deliver a formal letter to... Charles III."
