Statue of Nicolaus Copernicus, Bronze memorial at Planty Park near Collegium Witkowski, Poland.

The Statue of Nicolaus Copernicus stands in Planty Park near Collegium Witkowski, depicting the scholar in academic robes holding scientific instruments. The bronze figure rests on a granite pedestal positioned among university buildings and green spaces.

Sculptor Cyprian Godebski created the monument in 1900, first placing it within the Jagiellonian University courtyard. In 1953, it was moved to its current location in Planty Park.

The statue connects Copernicus to Krakow as a place where scholars deepened their knowledge of astronomy and mathematics. Today, students and visitors walk past it as a symbol of the city's scientific legacy.

The statue is located in Planty Park, a public green space open to visitors throughout the year in any season. You can reach it easily by walking through the park near the university quarter.

The monument retains its original bronze patina from the early 1900s, showing the craftsmanship of its creator. Inscriptions on the pedestal tell the story of the astronomer's scientific achievements.
