Wawel Dragon

  Wawel Dragon, situated at the base of Wawel Hill in Krakow, is an iconic symbol of the city's folklore and history. Dating back to the medieval era, this legendary creature is said to have breathed fire and terrorized the nearby villages until a clever prince defeated it. Today, visitors can observe the dragon's impressive statue, which stands approximately 7 meters tall and occasionally breathes fire, delighting spectators nearby. During the summer months, particularly in June and July, the display is even more captivating as the dragon "breathes" flames every few minutes. While exploring the nearby Wawel Castle and its grounds, take a moment to appreciate this unique blend of myth and culture that continues to captivate both locals and tourists alike.
