Wrocław’s dwarfs (Polish: krasnale, krasnoludki) are small figurines in the streets of Wrocław, Poland. In 2001, to commemorate the Orange Alternative (Polish anti-communist movement), a monument of a dwarf (the movement’s symbol) was officially placed on Świdnicka Street, where the group’s happenings used to take place. Since then, their numbers have been continually growing, and today they are considered a tourist attraction There are over 350 dwarfs all over the city.
