The modern photo is aligned to the old camera angle (perspective correction only).

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was created in 1925 in the central colonnade of the Saxon Palace on today's Piłsudski Square. German troops blew up the palace on 27–29 December 1944; only three arcades of the colonnade with the tomb survived. In 2021 the decision was taken to rebuild the palace.
