The Sokrates Starynkiewicz Square (Polish pronunciation: [sɔˈkra.tɛs sta.rɨŋˈkjɛ.vit͡ʂ]; Polish: Plac Sokratesa Starynkiewicza) is a triangular urban square in Warsaw, Poland, located within the neighbourhood of Filtry, within the Ochota district, between Koszyki Street, Lindley Street, and Jerusalem Avenue. Its large portion forms a park known as the Alfons Grotowski Square (Polish pronunciation: [ˈal.fɔns ɡrɔˈtɔf.ski]; Polish: Skwer im. Alfonsa Grotowskiego). It was developed in 1893, and in 1936, was turned into a garden square.
