Gnomenclature

One of Wrocław’s most popular, memorable and iconic attractions is not a cathedral, not a castle or monument, but a legion of little people. Gnomes to be precise. Keep your eyes peeled as you walk about town and you’re bound notice the little fellas engaged in a variety of activities – from guarding public space to passed out drunk. These diminutive statues have become incredibly popular since first arriving in 2005, beloved by local residents and tourists alike and the object of more photos than the towering Cathedral.
