During World War II, approximate 500 of young poles arrived, in the fall of the year 1939, in Timis de Sus. During their stay here, the refugees built a catholic shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The monument is located on a hill above the YMCA camp in Timişul de Sus, camp which was founded in 1919, at the initiative of Queen Mary.

 Few years ago, with the help of information received from a historian from Brasov, from the polish embassy in Bucharest but also from the nuns of the Catholic church in Timișul de Sus, this altar was rediscovered by the consul, Mr. Janusz Szalinski.

 Over time, the Consulate in Brasov together with the help and involvement of the polish soldiers from the Infantry Battalion: "Neagoe Basarab" from Craiova took care of the place, cleaning and preserving this holy place for poles.

At the initiative of the polish embassy through the Consulate in Brașov, it was possible to create and install it on the DN1 national road ( very close to the location) of some tourist boards that refer to this altar.

Polish constitution from 3 th of May 1791 it is the first modern constitution in Europe and the second in the world, after the United States, and this year they are fulfilled 233 years after its adoption.
The significance of the Constitution of 3 th of May, as a symbol, is exceptional for the formation and consolidation of the national identity of the poles and in their struggle for an independent and self-sufficient state. In the years of lack of independence (1795-1918), The Constitution was a symbolic bond for a divided nation, which was under the power of three foreign countries.
Patriotism is not only the love of the land in which you were born but, especially, the love of the past, without which there is no love of country. Because, over time the poles managed to preserve and transmit, language, faith, culture, the traditions and customs that represent them.
This is a clear proof of patriotism, because by faith, the power of a people is represented by the love for the country, and the poles, they love their faith, nation, culture, the traditions and customs, honoring the blood from which they sprang.
