Fryderyk Chopin represents the sound of our freedom, the spiritual voice of the Polish nation. These words greet visitors to Zelazowa Wola, about 31 miles (50 km) from Warsaw, the manor where the famous composer was born in 1810. The first monument in his honor was erected there in 1894, when the country was still under Russian rule. After Poland's independence in 1918, the site was converted into a museum surrounded by a beautiful park.
