A timulus is an artificial earthen mound raised over graves, usually constructed to mark an important site. In this case, it commemorates the Polish national leader 

Tadeusz Kosciuszko, who fought against Russia, and for the American Revolutionary War. He also let the 1994 Kosciuszko Uprising. As such the amount represents an independent Poland!

Completed in 1820, this is one of the city's four such mounds. It is 34 meters high. There are various highlights. The Founding Act is at the base of the mound. There’s a boulder from the Tatra Mountains at the top. Soil from the various battlefields in which the hero fought are buried in urns inside the mound.  In addition to the history of the place, people also come for the lovely view from the top of the mound, with vistas over the city and the surrounding landscape.

The exhibits at the museum at the mound cover the hero himself, his life and struggles, the Fortress and the role it played in Krakow history, and also an exhibit on Poland’s struggles for independents.
