Nicolaus Copernicus monument in Wrocław, Bronze memorial statue in Old Town, Poland
The monument features an abstract design with a detailed head and the heliocentric system depicted on the front side of the chest.
Professor Leon Podsiadły created this monument in 1974 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Nicolaus Copernicus's birth at this location.
The statue represents Poland's significant scientific heritage through Copernicus, who served as a canon and scholastic at St. Cross Church in Wrocław.
Visitors can find the monument northwest of the Piotr Skarga bridge, which crosses the moat in the southern section of Wrocław's Old Town.
The memorial combines abstract sculptural elements with scientific symbolism, incorporating the heliocentric model directly into the figure's design.
