The monument “In Honor of Slaughtered Animals” is one of Wroclaw’s biggest attractions. Since 1242, there were slaughterhouses and butcher stores at the place where Old Jatki Street is now located. \u00a0 In1998, by a decision of the City Council of Wroclaw, Stare Jatki Street was officially handed over to the management of the Union of Polish Artists, who decided to commemorate this place in a special way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To this end, a monument “In Honor of Slaughtered Animals” was created to commemorate the role this street has played since medieval times. The intentions of the authors, Wroclaw artists, are explained by the inscription on the plaque: <\/b>“In Honor of Slaughtered Animals – Consumers.” The sculptures depicting farm animals were created in several stages. In 1997, a bronze cast statue of a goose with an egg, a goat, a pig and a piglet was created. A few years later, more sculptures were made depicting ducks, a rooster and a rabbit. Earlier, in 1978, another monument – “Plaque in Honor of Simple Actions,” made by Eugeniusz Geta-Stankiewicz – was erected on Stare Jatki Street, on the Odrzanska side. <\/p>\n
The Monument to Slaughtered Animals at Jatki arouses the interest of tourists, who bestow affection on the slaughter animals there and are eager to take photos with them. Today at Jatki you can mainly buy souvenirs from Wroclaw, paintings, graphics, watercolors, ceramics. It is an iron point on the route of tours walking around the capital of Lower Silesia. <\/p>\n
