Rondo Daszyńskiego, Warszawa

Rondo Daszyńskiego is an M2 station in Wola beside Prosta Street. Opened in March twenty fifteen, it began as the western end of the line’s original section. Architect Andrzej M. Chołdzyński designed it, and murals by Wojciech Fangor give the station a distinct public-art character.

Rondo Daszyńskiego is the M2 metro station serving this part of Wola, running beside Prosta Street on the far side of Ignacy Daszyński Roundabout. The roundabout gives the station its name and commemorates Ignacy Daszyński. Passenger service began on the eighth of March twenty fifteen, when this was the western end of M2’s original operating section, which ran as far as Dworzec Wileński.

This station marks the starting point of a huge underground push across Warsaw. Preparatory work here began in August twenty ten, launching construction of the central M2 section. Tunnel-boring machines named Anna and Maria set out from this station during twenty twelve.

The project was not straightforward: difficult groundwater conditions complicated the work beneath the street. Andrzej M. Chołdzyński designed the station, while Metroprojekt delivered the engineering work.

Its visual identity comes from Wojciech Fangor, a leading figure in Poland’s poster-art movement, who created the murals. As you enter the station, those murals turn an everyday interchange into a piece of Warsaw’s public art.
