To provide a polarizing plate in which the adhesive force is improved and the change with time in the polarization degree is suppressed by improving an adhesive technique for adhering a polarizing film and a protection film, that causes a problem in the case when a film formed from a material containing polylactic acid is used as the protective film for a polarizing plate, and to provide a method of manufacturing the same.

In the polarizing plate, a protection film formed from a material containing polylactic acid is laminated at least on one surface of a polarizing film through an adhesive layer, wherein, the adhesive layer is formed by curing a specified radiation curable composition.
