- Wroclaw Gnomes
Wrocław gnomes (Wrocławskie krasnale) are small figurines of gnomes that have become a symbol of the city of Wroclaw in Poland. They are a unique and fun part of the city's culture and attract many tourists and locals.
The history of Wrocław gnomes began in 2001, when the first gnome figurine called “Papa Gnome” was installed. It was erected as a protest against the communist regime, and also as a symbol of freedom and independence.
Since then, the number of gnomes in the city has been constantly increasing. Today there are more than 600 of them and they are scattered throughout the historical center of Wroclaw. Each gnome has its own unique design and name, reflecting a specific profession, hobby or theme.
Finding and assembling all the gnomes has become a popular activity for tourists. Many city visitors love to walk the streets of Wroclaw in search of these small figures. They often take pictures next to the gnomes and collect special maps or guides that help track all their locations.
Wroclaw gnomes have become an integral part of the city's culture and symbolize the creativity, humor and tolerance of Wroclaw. They also testify to the strength of civic spirit and solidarity in the city's history.
