2. Ziegfried Kofszynski (1858-1932) - Polish architect, graduate of Lviv Polytechnic (1872-1876), brought to Romania by Johannes Schultz (1844-1926), chief architect of Peleș Castle in Sinaia. From 1888 he lived permanently in Bucharest, where he designed a number of important public and private architectural buildings.
Selected realisations:
- Proprietary house at 3 Popa-Chitu Street (1892) - together with Alois Pesch, inspired by Viennese academism (no information on realisation).
- Alexandru Barbu house at 38 Popa Soare Street (1892) - project with A. Pesch.
- I. Alexi on Polonă Street (c. 1900) - signed exclusively by Kofszynski.
- Twin houses at 48 and 50 Jean Louis Calderon Street - neo-Gothic residential architecture. No. 48 now houses the headquarters of the Union of Romanian Architects.
- The house of Nicu N. Negri at 16 Slătineanu Street (1912) - with C. Cretzoiu, eclectic style.
- Dr. Gheorghe Nanu's house at 50 Icoanei Street (1911-1914) - classic hôtel particulier.
- Grigore Popescu's house at 13 Iuliu Valaori Street (1927) - neo-Romanesque style.
Public buildings:
. - Restaurant Caru' cu Bere (1897-1899) - designed together with Alois Pesch for Nicolae Mircea, with Kofszynski's full participation in the concept of the interior design (furniture, panelling, wall paintings). The main hall and annex led to the wine barrel cellars, while the floors housed the owner's and staff's flats. The façade combined Neo-Gothic, Neo-Classical styles and elements of German Romanticism. Between 1909 and 1922, Kofszynski drew up a project to extend the complex with a wing on Lipscani Street (nos. 4-6), including new restaurant rooms, staircases and commercial premises. The 1924 design for the new building was not fully realised, but a number of alterations were made to integrate the two wings. The building functioned continuously, underwent nationalisation in 1948 and, after restitution, was restored and reopened in 2006. The entire ensemble is listed in the Register of Historic Buildings (B-II-m-B-19728 and B-II-a-B-19017).
- Rieber carriage factory at 15 Romulus Street (c. 1900) - an ensemble in neo-Gothic style.
- Bucharest Central Post Office Palace (1894-1900) - collaboration with Alexandru Săvulescu on interiors and detailing.
- Buzău Town Hall (1899-1903) - continuation of the project after Săvulescu's death.
- Amzei Church (1898-1901) - participation in the design and architectural decoration.
- Palace of Justice and Administration in Iaşi (1906-1925) - member of the team of I. D. Berindeya.
- Cazinoul din Constanța (1909-1910) - collaboration with Daniel Renard.
- Educational and social complex in Mărăști (1919-1927) - including the Queen Mary School, orphanages, church, parks and mausoleum.
Style and creative features:
Ziegfried Kofszynski combined elements of Neo-Gothic, Viennese Eclecticism and Neo-Romanesque style in his designs. His architecture is characterised by monumentality, towers, serrations, asymmetry of the facades, loggias, representative staircases and rich floral decoration. In his last period of work, he clearly aimed to adapt the Romanian national style.
He died in Bucharest in 1932.

3 Józef Skupiewski in Bucharest (from 1885)
Józef Skupiewski (1846-1910), a graduate of the Warsaw High School (1868), settled in Bucharest in 1885 as a journalist for the French-language press. He was a member of the National Liberal Party. He was known for his controversial publications and duels. At the same time, the cartoonist Witold Piekarski, a caricaturist active until the First World War, was active in Bucharest.

4 Wlodzimierz Hegel - sculptor of the Defenders Monument and prominent artist in Romania
Vladimir Hegel (Romanian: Wladimir C. Hegel) was born on 13 April 1838 and died in 1918 in Bucharest. He was the grandson of Joseph Hegel and the son of Konstantin Hegel. A sculptor and engraver by training, he studied first in Germany and then in Paris at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts.

He settled in Bucharest in 1885 and began teaching from 1890, teaching free of charge at the School of Arts and Crafts. He also obtained Romanian citizenship. After Ion Georgescu's death in 1898, he became Professor of Sculpture at the School of Fine Arts in Bucharest, and also taught at the Teachers' School and the Ateneum School of Painting. His pupils included Constantin Brâncuși.

He was the author of many monuments and public sculptures, both in Bucharest and other Romanian cities. One of his most important works is the Monument to the Defenders in Bucharest, one of the most outstanding commemorations of the events of the 1848 Revolution.

Monument to the Defenders in Bucharest (1899-1901)
The monument was made between 1899 and 1901 and, from the very beginning, had both an artistic and a patriotic function. It commemorates the fight of the Bucharest defenders against the Ottoman army on 13 September 1848, and in particular the clash with the division led by Cherim Pasha.

On the 50th anniversary of these events, an initiative committee was set up to initiate the construction of the monument. On 16 June 1898, the foundation stone was laid and the work was entrusted to Vladimir Hegel, a professor at the School of Fine Arts and the School of Arts and Crafts. A public presentation of the project made it possible to raise funds.

The plaster model was kept in the rotunda of the Romanian Athenaeum. In 1902, Hegel presented a marble miniature of the monument at the Official Salon, where it was noted in the catalogue under item 180.

The monument was erected at the intersection of Uranus and Fonteriei Streets, on the site of the former barracks and battlefield of 1848. It was one of the first artistic casts made in Bucharest, at the local School of Arts and Crafts. The bronze statue stood on a plinth of red granite imported from Sweden.

The statue measures approximately 2.5 metres and depicts a winged allegory of Victory supporting a wounded soldier. On the front side of the plinth is a bronze plaque with the inscription: "To the Defenders of 13 September 1848. - Grateful Romanian people, MDCCCC."

The plaque is surrounded by symbols: a helmet, a heraldic composition and an eagle with outspread wings. On the back of the pedestal is an inscription in Romanian: "To commemorate the battle fought here by the defenders of Bucharest, commanded by Captain Zăgănescu, and the 2nd Battalion from the 2nd Line Regiment, under the command of Colonel Radu Golescu, against a division of the Turkish army commanded by Cherim Pasha."
The monument was surrounded by a low metal fence to protect it from damage. In the 1980s, due to the construction of the House of the Republic (now: the seat of the Romanian Parliament), the monument was removed from its original location. It was not until 13 September 1990 that it returned to public space - it was placed in front of today's JW Marriott Hotel. Due to the impossibility of recovering the original plinth, a travertine cladding was used, which drew criticism from conservationists and urban planners.

Other works by Vladimir Hegel
Hegel's second important monumental work is the monument to C. A. Rosetti, unveiled in 1903 in Bucharest. Another work was the Dinicu Golescu Monument realised in collaboration with Carl Storck and Dimitrie Mirea (busts of sons Ștefan, Nicolae, Radu and Alexandru). It is a bronze fiigure on a sandstone plinth.

His oeuvre also includes other works placed in public spaces in Bucharest:

- bust of the poet Mihai Eminescu, placed on the main avenue in front of the Romanian Athenaeum;
- the statue "Justice" for the Palace of Justice in Bucharest;
two allegorical sculptures, representing "Law" and "Literature", made for the Mihailean Academy;
- a portrait of V. A. Urechia, donated in 1901 to the Romanian Athenaeum;
bust of the former director of the Romanian Railways (CFR), placed in the courtyard of the School of Bridges and Roads.

5 Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz - activities in Romania (1902-1904, 1904)
Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz (1852-1916), Polish academic painter, settled temporarily in Bucharest in 1904 at the invitation of King Charles I, for whom he made official portraits. Between 1902 and 1904, he created the allegorical frieze 'Four Seasons' in the bedroom of Princess Maria (later Queen) at Pelișor Castle. His works from this period are in the National Museum of Art, the Cotroceni Museum and Peleșor Castle.

6 Image of Jozef Brandt in the Muzeului Colecțiilor de Artă (before 1915)
. In the collection of the Muzeului Colecțiilor de Artă in Bucharest is Jozef Brandt's painting 'Tatars pursued by Polish cavalry'. This work represents the artist's typical battle themes involving cavalry and Tartar troops.

7 Lucjan Skupniewski's villa and family tomb monument
. Lucjan Skupiewski (1876-1949), son of Joseph, was a graduate of the Gheorghe Lazăr Lyceum in Bucharest and received his doctorate in medicine from the University of Bucharest in 1902. He specialised in gynaecology and surgery. From 1914 he was politically active within the National Liberal Party, served as deputy mayor of Bucharest and sat in the Romanian Parliament, mainly in the Senate (1930s). He was involved, among other things, in the fight against infectious diseases and alcoholism.
He maintained contacts with the authorities of the Second Republic - including Józef Piłsudski and Ignacy Mościcki. He met Piłsudski three times during his visits to Romania (1922, 1928, 1931), and probably in 1934 in Moszczanica near Żywiec. Despite his natural assimilation, he retained his Polish identity - Polish was spoken in the Skupiewski home. His first wife was Zofia, née Ajdukiewicz, daughter of the painter Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz, who stayed temporarily in Bucharest and painted there, among other things, portraits of the Romanian royal couple.
After his divorce, Skupiewski married Elena Laptev. He died in 1949, his body cremated at the Cenușa crematorium. A symbolic grave is located in the family quarters in Bellu Cemetery.
The house at 6 Grigore Mora Street, built around 1900 in the Romanian national style, was acquired by Skupiewski in 1933 and was his last residence. Located in the Aviatorilor district, it is in close proximity to the Embassy of the Republic of Poland, operating on the same site since 1928. Skupiewski also owned holiday homes in Sinaia and Techirghiol.
There is a grave of the Skupiewski family in the Catholic Bellu Cemetery in Bucharest. Also buried there is Colonel Wincenty Jasiewicz - commander of the 2nd Grochow Cavalry Regiment and son-in-law of Lucjan Skupiewski, who died in 1941. Jasiewicz came to Bucharest due to illness, being cared for by his father-in-law. Kornelia Jasiewicz, the only daughter of Lucjan and Zofia, died in 1965 in Warsaw.

8th Gravestone of Aurelia Borowska (1938-1941)
. Also in the Bellu cemetery there is a damaged tombstone of Aurelia Borowska, dating from 1938-1941. The object has no more precise identification data, but it is a confirmation of the continued presence of Polish graves in the sepulchral space of the Romanian capital.

9th Bust of John Paul II (2011)
The bust of Saint John Paul II by Mirsad Begić, a Slovenian sculptor of Bosnian origin, was unveiled on 1 August 2011 in the John Paul II Square near the Apostolic Nunciature in Bucharest. It commemorates the Pope's visit to Romania from 7-9 May 1999.The pedestal bears a quotation from the Gospel of St John (Jn 17:21): "Ut unum sint".
