- Fort Legionow stands very near the Citadel in a park area. The fort doesn't seem to be abandoned in the strict sense of the word, as people can book the place for concerts or for other out door events.

- The history of the place is an interesting one, history which was a quite surprising for me. Fort Legionow or Wladimir, both names seems to be good enough for the place, was constructed between 1852 to 1854. The first name of the place was Fort Wladimir.

- The fort was constructed to a southern side of The Citadel and it was meant to protect The Citadel from the side of the New Town and also to guard the seasonal military bridge that went across the Vistula river. The original shape of the fort was a quite different from the way it looks today.The Fort Wladimir had originally a form of a three-store ditched battery tower with three enclosures and a counterscarp gallery. The fort was modernized between the years 1866 to 1874. The name of the fort was changed in 1881 to Fort Legionow. I would have not believed that they would have built another quite massive fort, just to protect the mighty Citadel, but that really seems to be the case.

- After Poland had regained it's independency in 1918, the Central Military Archive was located in the fort. The archives were captured intact by the Germans and amazingly, the fort and the archives survived the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, even when some heavy battles were fought in the area of the fort.

- In the more modern times, there has been some archeological excavations in the tunnels of the fort, from which they have found quite a lot of interesting items. Some items worth of mentioning are for example war documents from a Russian soldier, newspapers from the turn of the century and a two-headed eagle emblem, which once belonged to the hat of a Russian soldier.

- In 1965, the Fort Legionow was included in the list of a historical monuments.

- The fort is round in shape and protected by a moat. I somehow think that the building which have been built to the moat is an later addition and not an original building. The walls are in quite good condition and in some parts it appears, like the fort would have been renovated. But then there is parts, from where the bricks are falling off.

- The nearby park is free of people and contain a memorial, from which I couldn't figure out that what is it commemorating?
