Old

Warsaw, Poland

This lovely stone Madonna and child, called the Madonna of Passau, was sculpted by Royal Sculptor Jozef Bellotti and placed in its present position in 1683 as a votive offering for King Jan III Sobieski's victory over the Turks at Vienna.
The statue is Warsaw's second oldest monument after Zygmunt's column.

For the "Os in October" challenge.

An amazingly beautiful statue! I'm surprised it's outside, considering its age! V
