Krasnale Prisoner, Bronze dwarf statue in Stare Miasto, Wrocław, Poland

Krasnale Prisoner is a bronze sculpture of a tiny man sitting behind bars, mounted on a building wall near ground level in the Old Town. The figure shows detailed metalwork with iron bars that form a prison enclosure.

The statue was installed on May 15, 2006, emerging from a movement that protested against political oppression. It embodies the spirit of resistance that continues to define the city today.

The figure shows a small man behind bars, telling a story of lost freedom. It belongs to the many dwarfs scattered across the city, each representing different stories and occupations of people.

The monument is located in the Old Town at coordinates 51.1123983, 17.0324688 and is easy to spot from the sidewalk. The area is best explored on foot to discover all the details of this and other similar figures nearby.

The bronze figure displays fine patterns in the bars that appear different as light and shadow change throughout the day. These visual effects result from the careful craftsmanship built into the artwork.
