Dragon Statue
Fire-breathing bronze dragon sculpture with six heads, guarding a legendary den beneath a royal hill.
This guide to the bronze Dragon Statue by the Vistula in Kraków connects the fire-breathing sculpture in front of you, which tourists trigger by text message, to the old legend of a beast that lived in the cave behind it and terrorized King Krakus's settlement, demanding livestock and worse from a town that could not fight it off. Knights who rode out to kill it never returned, and Krakus offered his daughter Wanda's hand to whoever could finish the job. A shoemaker named Skuba answers the call with an idea no sword could manage. Watch closely as you wait for the flame; only one of the six heads actually breathes it.
