Pomnik Jana Pawła II w Wadowicach, Bronze statue in Wadowice, Poland.

The statue stands 2.5 meters tall on a granite base in front of the Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Cardinal Stanisław Dziwisz and Mayor Ewa Filipiak unveiled the monument on August 30, 2006, at the location where Pope John Paul II met local residents.

The bronze figure depicts Pope John Paul II in pontifical robes, holding a pastoral staff in his left hand while extending his right hand in blessing.

The monument remains accessible throughout the year, with visitors gathering at John Paul II Square to view the statue and photograph the memorial.

Sculptor Maksymilian Biskupski created this monument, which sparked discussions due to its similarity to his earlier work in Dukla from 1997.
