Eros Bendato, Bronze sculpture in Market Square, Poland
The 2.25-meter-tall bronze head with bandages lies on the pavement near the Town Hall Tower, featuring openings that visitors can look through.
Polish artist Igor Mitoraj donated this sculpture to Krakow in 2003 as part of his exhibition of 14 monumental works in the city.
The sculpture represents Eros, the Greek god of love, with a bandaged face that symbolizes the restriction of human desires and emotions.
The sculpture weighs 1,900 kilograms and measures 370 centimeters in length, making it a central meeting point in the Market Square.
This bronze head is one of three identical copies, with the other versions located in Lugano and in the artist's personal collection.
