The most well known monument in Piła is the bronze figure of Stanisław Staszic mounted on a high pedestal by the River Gwda, at Wodna Str. It was designed by sculptor Edward Haupt in 1960. Next to it, at Plac Zwycięstwa there is an unveiled in 1966 monument commemorating the 1.000th - anniversary of Poland and a comeback of Western Land to the homeland. There has been a monument of John Paul II in the neighbourhood since 2006. At Plac Konstytucji 3 Maja there is an obelisk unveiled in 1964 dedicated to the anniversary of Poland's rebirth. A monument of Railwaymen-Pioneers of settlement in Piła, welded from rails, unveiled in 1973, is towering over the intersection of Buczka Sir. with Okrzei Str. At Aleja Wojska Polskiego, near Primary School No 7, there is a monument dedicated to the memory of Poles-prisoners of the Nazi camp ˝AIbatros", organised in the first days of the Second World War. Dedicated to the victims of Stalinism is a monument in the shape of a cross mounted between Plac Stanisława Staszica and 14 Lutego Str.
The figure of the leader of Polish minority in the interwar Germany, Rev. Dr Bolesław Domański, is commemorated by an obelisk at the square named after him, near the Town Hall.
The biggest necropolis in Piła, town cemetery, is located at Motylewska Str. Now closed cemeteries at al. Wojska Polskiego and Powstańców Wielkopolskich are last resting-places of former, German dwellers of Piła. In Leszków there are two big war cemeteries from the WW I and WW II period.
