Adam Mickiewicz Monument
Adam Mickiewicz Monument in Kraków is one of the best known
monuments in Poland, and a favourite meeting place in
Kraków's Main Square.
The statue of Adam Mickiewicz was unveiled in 1898, on the
100th anniversary of his birth. It was designed by Teodor
Rygier, a little known sculptor at the time, who won the
competition for this project ahead of renowned painter Jan
Matejko.
