Adam Mickiewicz is considered one the greatest poet of Polish Romanticism and Polish literature, and even one of the greatest on a European scale. The poet has always been highly valued in Poznan, and it was here that in 1859 his first monument in Poland was unveiled.Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the 2nd World War. The current monument was placed on Adam Mickiewicz Square. The four-meter-high monument was placed on a two-meter pedestal. The monument was unveiled in 1960. Interesting monument, historic square, located in the city center. It is located near beautiful Adam Mickiewicz Park and Adam Mickiewicz University. I like this place.

Adam Bernard Mickiewicz was a Polish poet, dramatist, essayist, publicist, translator and political activist.
He is regarded as national poet in Poland, Lithuania and Belarus.
They like to call him one of the three top polish bards.
If I have correct info then he was born in Lithuania in Zaosie.
He is resting in Krakow in Wawel cathedral.
He is known chiefly for the poetic drama Dziady (Forefathers' Eve) and the national epic poem Pan Tadeusz
Mickiewicz was born in the Russian-partitioned territories of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania
The statue is very big and he is close to he's own university and have a park also called up after him. And very many other things to see around him

This is an OK but nothing special statue of Poland's national poet.
Worth a look if you're in the area - and you will be as the statue is in a park between the Adam Mickiewicz University and the Imperial Palace.

As we visited the statue we were fortunate to meet a lovely gentleman who turned out to be a University lecturer and who was happy to tell us some of the history of the area. He described Adam Mickiewicz as the “ PolishVictor Hugo”

Mickiewicz died in 1855 in Ottoman Turkey while organizing Polish/Jewish legions to fight Russia during the Crimea war. It shows he was not just a poet, but also an activist for the Polish cause. No doubt he saw the Russian empire as the biggest obstacle to Polish independence. Prussia and Austro-Habsburg at the time also occupied significant parts of Poland.
Mickiewicz is popular in Poland. You see statues of him in many cities. I did not particularly like this one. Too big, too severe, too dark, almost two-dimensial like pharao statues in ancient Egypt. In reality he was a Romantic, who liked to be with people and someone who persevered.

I walked past this large stone monument on the way from my hotel to the old town. A fairly modern statue, it's worth a quick stop if you're already in the area.

This statue is located opposite the Imperial Castle next to the June 1956 Monument on the Adam Mickiewicz Square in downtown Poznan. The artist has captured the 19th century Polish poet in a pensive mood with a book in his hands and dressed in outdoor clothing reminiscent of the 1800's. In this statue Adam Mickiewicz is standing. The work is modern with the bronze finish being not smooth and shiny, but rough and texturized. The statue is also set on a bronze pedestal with Mickiewicz's name printed in gold lettering. This statue is not as impressive as the one of him in Krakow's town square. Mickiewicz was a Polish national poet, just as important as Goethe is to the Germans or Lord Byron is to the English. His patriotic poems, however, inspired the 1848 uprisings for Polish independence against the occupation governments of the time.
This statue was a replacement for another statue that stood on the same spot, but the Nazis had removed it in 1939. It, too, was associated with Poland gaining its independence as citizen's had erected it in thanks for the creation of Poland in 1918. The name of that statue - Christ the King - and the years it had stood on the square were printed in bold letters on the square.
I enjoyed seeing statues in public places of Polish literary heroes.
