Currently, the building at 47 Małopolska Street is one of the most interesting monuments of mature historicism in Pomerania, whose architectural forms clearly refer to the high and late northern European Gothic. The neo-Gothic complex of buildings of the Police Presidium was erected in the years 1902-1905. The former police presidium was a basement, four-storey building with a usable attic and a massive, five-storey tower at the corner of the streets. The buildings were covered with high roofs: a gable roof over the three-winged body, and a higher, hipped roof with a ridge over the tower. Dormers were placed in the roof slope. The picturesque shape was diversified by a high, massive tower topped with a pointed polygonal dome with a spire, numerous shallow projections with high gables, and bay windows. All elevations were designed as asymmetric. The elevations facing the street received a rich architectural setting. The elevations facing the courtyard were characterized by greater asymmetry and irregularity.

Although the area in front of the Philharmonic Hall and the police station was built up until the destruction of the Second World War, the open space now known as Plac Solidarnósci is a historically important site in the city's recent history. In 1970, a demonstration was shot down by police here; among the 16 killed were bystanders, such as the young woman who watched the events from her room window. A sculpture of an angel and a memorial plaque in the square commemorate these sad events. To better convey these and other moments of recent history—after Gdansk, Szczecin was the center of the Solidarity trade union in the early 1980s—the "Centrum Dialogu Przelomy" (Centre for Dialogue in Przelomy) was built beneath the square. The project of the Szczecin National Museum (architect Robert Konieczny/kwk promes), which with its undulating surface initially appears to the uninitiated as a great paradise for skaters (and is accordingly accepted), is one of five museum squares: https://visitszczecin.eu/de/museen/38-dialogzentrum-przelomy-umbrueche

Before 1945, it was also called the Anklam Gate. It is a late baroque gate that was built by Gerhard Cornelius von Walrave in place of a medieval gate in the city wall immediately after the Prussian takeover of Stettin in 1720. During the Second World War, the baroque figures and reliefs were dismantled and hidden in the Stettin city forest - Eckerberger Forest - where they survived the destruction of Stettin unscathed. They were not discovered until 1957, and the gate was subsequently reconstructed. Since then, it has housed an art gallery, the Brama Jazz Cafe club, and since 2017, a chocolate-drinking restaurant from Wedel.

One of the most famous and recognizable monuments of Szczecin. The Royal Gate in Szczecin is a historic city gate from 1725-1728, designed by the Dutch engineer Gerhard Cornelius van Wallrawe. Originally called Anklamer Tor, it changed its name to its current name after the war. It is distinguished by sculptures of Mars and Hercules and the Prussian eagle, works by the court sculptor of Frederick William I. During World War II, the decorations were hidden to protect them. The gate was renovated in 1994, and now houses the Wedel chocolate pump room. It is entered into the register of monuments.
