Szomol, Dwarf statue in Stare Miasto, Poland
Szomol stands as a small bronze figure among the numerous dwarf sculptures that decorate the streets and squares of Wrocław's historic center.
The statue, installed on December 5, 2014, continues the tradition of dwarf sculptures that began as symbols of resistance against communist control in the 1980s.
The statue represents part of Wrocław's collection of dwarf monuments, which transform the urban landscape into an open-air gallery connecting art with social memory.
Visitors can locate Szomol at coordinates 51.1073882, 17.02604 in the Old Town district, near multiple restaurants and historical buildings.
Each winter, local residents dress the statue in miniature warm clothing, creating seasonal variations in its appearance throughout the year.
