Król Piastuś

Król Piastuś is a small bronze figure depicting a crowned character among the numerous dwarf statues scattered throughout Wrocław. The statue features fine details and royal regalia that distinguish it from many others in this growing collection.

The statue was installed in 2016 as part of a tradition that began in 2005 with a sculpture in the city center and expanded across Wrocław over time. Each new figure marked a growth of this unusual public art project.

The name references the medieval Piast dynasty that ruled Poland, connecting this small bronze figure to the regional heritage of Lower Silesia. The crowned dwarf embodies how local history becomes part of the city's daily landscape.

The figure is located in the Oporów neighborhood, a quieter part of the city away from the main tourist areas. Dedicated dwarf maps and mobile apps are available to help visitors find all the sculptures throughout Wrocław.

This crowned figure is part of an unusual phenomenon: more than 800 small bronze dwarfs now populate Wrocław's streets and squares. Each one depicts a different trade, profession, or local story.
