*In 1970 a metal sculpture of the Wawel Dragon designed by Bronislaw Chromy was placed in front of the dragon's den. It is stylised, with six legs, and, to the amusement of children, it noisily breathes fire every few minutes, thanks to a natural gas nozzle installed in the sculpture's mouth. Currently the dragon breathes fire every five minutes, or when an SMS with the text "SMOK" is sent to the number 7168. | *In 1970 a metal sculpture of the Wawel Dragon designed by Bronislaw Chromy was placed in front of the dragon's den. | ||
