*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 a specific number. | |||
