Installed in 2010, this dwarf joins a movement that began decades earlier to fill Wrocław's streets with imaginative bronze figures. The project grew from a tradition of adding playful touches to the city's public spaces.
This figure depicts an intimate proposal moment, bringing a touch of human emotion and romance into the public square. Passersby notice how the statue captures a personal gesture that speaks to the city's playful and tender side.
The statue sits on busy Plac Grunwaldzki, making it easy to visit while exploring this central square. The flat pavement makes viewing on foot straightforward without obstacles.
The name Serdeczniś translates roughly to 'little heart' from Polish, reflecting the romantic nature of the figure. This naming approach shows how local language shapes the personality of each statue in the collection.
