Monument to a female paramedic
The monument pays tribute to the women who fought as part of the Polish Army for the country's freedom during the Second World War, with an emphasis on the battles for Kołobrzeg. It shows a kneeling figure of a girl dressed in a military uniform, with a bag slung over her shoulder, on which a cross is visible. It depicts a female nurse giving aid to a wounded soldier.
