Tarnów's trail of the mascarons

The Tarnów Mascarons Trail is a tourist attraction intended for both the youngest guests and entire families. Joint fun in finding the next characters combined with visiting attractive locations in the city will ensure time well spent. Fourteen mascarons figurines placed in important places in the city. The 30-centimetre-high figures refer to the Renaissance mascarons decorating the Tarnów Town Hall, which in turn referred to the city councillors of the time.

Among the mascarons you will find:

  • Mascarons of the Universe, in front of the Discovery Passage

  • Guardian of the Elements, stairs at Hungarian Square (Wałowa Street)

  • Guardian of Identity, Spycimir Leliwita Corner (Wałowa Street)

  • Theatre Spirit, entrance to the Theatre of Ludwik Solski

  • Dream's seller, in front of the Summer Amphitheatre (Kopernik Street)

  • Mascaron of young, parklet on Wałowa Street

  • New inhabitant, Sobieskiego Square (near Cafe Tramwaj)
