PL

Gabriel Narutowicz (1865 - 1922) was a Lithuanian-born professor of hydroelectric engineering at Switzerland's Zurich Polytechnic, and Poland's Minister of Public Works (1920 - 21), Minister of Foreign Affairs (1922), and the first president of the Second Polish Republic.
Gabriel Narutowicz was president of the Polish Republic for only five days.
Only five days after taking office, on 16 December 1922, Narutowicz was assassinated while attending an art exhibition, in the National Gallery of Art "Zacheta”. The assassin was a painter, Eligiusz Niewiadomski, who had connections with the right wing National Democratic Party. Narutowicz's murder was the culmination of an aggressive propaganda campaign vilifying him. His assassin was sentenced to death and his execution took place outside of the Warsaw Citadel on 31 January. Part of the right wing camp perceived him as a hero.
The square you're at is named after Gabriel Narutowicz and while grabbing the cache look left - you'll see a beautiful Narutowicz's bust statue.
On the other side of the square you can also find a war survivor - nice Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
