About
Since 1969, the legendary Wawel Dragon has been guarding the peaceful residents of Krakow against enemies and ill-wishers. Living, as expected, in the Dragon's Den, the creature, according to legend, was slain by a brave soul. A marriage to the king's daughter was promised as a reward - a risk worth taking for one's head, don't you agree? He killed the beast, as is customary, but did not receive a monument for his deeds. Strangely, it was the dragon that ended up being memorialized. Made of bronze, anyone can make it breathe fire and even roar. The secret lies in a special gas mechanism. Interestingly, the fireball and roar are activated by a simple SMS message - the "recipient" reacts this way if disturbed. The particularly daring can descend into the beast's lair, the famous Dragon's Den, which also serves as a back exit from the Wawel Castle. It is now fully illuminated and quite comfortable, but the "dragon spirit" still lives in this place.

Wspaniały , duży i wyrazisty pomnik Kościuszki na koniu. Uchwycony moment pełen triumfu i energii. Pomnik co prawda wzniesiony dość wysoko na betonowym postumencie choć duży niestety oglądalny tylko z pewnej odległości, z dołu. Nie ma możliwości znalezienia się tuż obok niego.

Pomnik powstał w tym miejscu w latach 20. XX wieku. Został on zniszczony przez Niemców w czasie II wojny światowej, jednak w latach 60. w ramach modnych wówczas gestów pojednania Niemcy zrekonstruowali pomnik i ustawiono go w tym samym miejscu co oryginał. Kościuszko przedstawiony na koniu w dynamiczny sposób. Obecnie nie zobaczymy go, gdyż przechodzi remont.
