The Polish History Museum, located in Poland and executed by the Portuguese company Dimpomar, represents one of the most ambitious and technically complex projects among the nominees. Conceived by the WXCA architecture studio and situated in the Warsaw Citadel, this building constitutes a true work of architectural art where Portuguese natural stone plays a leading role.

The use of Portuguese Ruivina marble on all exterior facades and interior cladding demonstrates international confidence in the quality and technical suitability of Portuguese stone materials for large-scale projects with high technical requirements. The grey tones of Ruivina were meticulously selected to create a visual narrative that incorporates a thousand years of Polish history sculpted in Portuguese marble.
