The Warsaw Uprising Mound, located in Warsaw's Czerniaków district, is a symbolic elevation built from the rubble of the destroyed capital after 1945. The idea of its construction, proposed by engineer Stanisław Gruszczyński, appeared in 1945, but the implementation of the idea began only after several decades. The mound, once known as "Zwałka" or "Śmieciara", became an important point of national remembrance, especially after it was tidied up in 2004. The symbol of Fighting Poland was placed on the top of the mound, as well as commemorative plaques dedicated to the soldiers of the Home Army and the Warsaw insurgents. In 2004, the avenue leading to it was named "Hour of W", and every year, on August 1, ceremonies related to the anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising are held there. The mound offers a panoramic view of Warsaw, and the Action "Burza" park is located nearby.

The Rose Garden in Wilanów is a space with a rich history, designed by Bolesław Podczaszyński in 1855-1856 for the August and Aleksandra Potocki families. It was created on the site of the 18th-century Baroque parterre of the garden, in line with the fashion of 19th-century eclectic gardens. Its layout refers to the Dutch garden in London, with the central part highlighted by a neo-Renaissance fountain and a figure of the Goddess Victoria. Originally, the garden was filled with various plants, including roses and exotic plants such as orange trees and palms. In 1920, the Branicki family began planting more roses, which transformed the garden into a rose garden. The garden was maintained in the years 1945-1965, and later, in the years 2009-2012, a second renovation was carried out, restoring the 19th-century character of the garden.
