Poland in Greece

The first memorial site dedicated to the Philhellenes who fell in the struggle for liberation of Greece from the Ottoman captivity was established in the city of Nafplio in the Catholic Church of Transfiguration.

The Ambassadors of the European Union Member States in Greece celebrate together the International Women’s Day by paying homage to the European Women who distinguished themselves in the fight against Covid 19.

In the atmosphere of International Women's Day, it is worth paying attention to the examples of armed participation of women in the struggles for independence in the 19th century. Such heroines were: Laskarina Bubulina in Greece and Emilia Plater in Poland. Their heroic attitude and dedication in the fight for the independence of their nations became an inspiration for both comrades-in-arms and romantic artists.

On the occasion of the anniversary of 200 years since the Greek Revolution of 1821, we start publications on Polish Philhellenism and the participation of Poles in the fight for Greek independence. The protagonist of the first article is the cavalryman Franciszek Mierzejewski, whose biography we can publish thanks to the courtesy of Professor Gosciwit Malinowski from the University of Wrocław.
