The Pigeon & The Astronomer

Copernicus is Toruń's number one son...and quite rightly so they have cashed in on the fact that the great astronomer was born here. The famous gingerbread is named after him, as is the university and there is also a hotel named in his honour.

Here is a view of the famous Copernicus statue...albeit from an unusual perspective from high up in the Town Hall tower.
