Kamionkowskie Błonia Elekcyjne

Most of the residents of Warsaw's Praga stroll on the vast area of Kamionkowskie Błonia Elekcyjne. Although this place seems inconspicuous and quite ordinary, it is associated with a large fragment of Polish history. Today, on the Błonia, the inhabitants of Praga are taking a rest or exercising, but once, decisions that were very important for the country were taken here.

The name of the Błonia in the Praga district did not come out of nowhere. Once Kamion village existed in the area of the Błonia - the first part of the name comes from it. As for the last part, it should be noted that it was here that the elections of the Polish sovereign were held twice - Henryk Walezy was elected during the first election, and August III Sas in the second.

As Kamionkowskie Błonia Elekcyjne is of great historical importance, it has become a monument to history and is officially listed in the register of Polish monuments.
