Krasnal Alonka

Krasnal Alonka is a small bronze figure located in the Gaj district and part of a collection of over 400 similar statues scattered throughout Wroclaw's streets. The statue depicts a dwarf character with distinct proportions and sits or stands at street level, inviting passersby to notice it among the urban landscape.

This figure was installed in 2021 and continues a tradition that began in the 1980s when the first dwarf statues appeared as symbols of quiet resistance during the communist era. The collection has grown steadily since then, becoming an ongoing project that reflects the city's modern identity.

The name Alonka refers to a specific person or story connected to the city, and the figure contributes to Wroclaw's identity as a place where public art is woven into everyday life. You notice these sculptures as you walk through neighborhoods, becoming part of how residents experience their surroundings.

The statue is located at street level and easy to find on foot, especially if you are searching for other figures in the area. Digital maps and guide apps show the exact locations of all the dwarfs scattered throughout the city.

Visitors often overlook that each figure has a distinct personality, with different poses, activities, and small details that set them apart. The fun comes from discovering the subtle differences between the hundreds of figures scattered around, making each discovery feel like a small treasure hunt.
