Nicolaus Copernicus Monument in Frombork, Bronze monument at Cathedral Hill, Frombork, Poland
The 6-meter high bronze statue stands on a granite pedestal, depicting the astronomer in Renaissance attire near the Frombork Cathedral.
The monument was unveiled in 1973 to mark 500 years since the birth of Copernicus, replacing an earlier 1909 statue destroyed during 1945.
The monument represents Copernicus's scientific contributions at the location where he wrote his fundamental work about Earth's rotation around the Sun.
Visitors can read informational plaques near the monument while exploring other historical sites connected to the astronomer's life and work.
A four-meter replica of this monument stands in Mexico City, installed in July 1973 just one week after the original inauguration.
