The Angel of Toruń

The symbol of Toruń is an angel. Here she is high above the entrance to the town hall.

Sleeping On The Job

This beautiful angel may be found in repose at Mount Wollaston Cemetery.

The Faded Fire Angel

This faded symbol can be found on the side of the old town's main fire station. Nice to know an angel is watching over our fire crew!

The Colourful Angels

Toruń is famous for its angels. After all it is the angel that is the symbol of the city. These colourful angels can be seen on a mural in the playground of School Number 1 in the old town. At first glance you may think the angels are flying over the panorama of Toruń...but in fact it's a skyline made up of many famous landmarks from around the world. There's the Statue of Liberty, The Pyramids and even Stonehenge. How many others can you spot?

An Angel by Candlelight

Everyone loves an angel...and the Poles are no exception. They can be bought as ornaments, decorated on top of your Christmas tree and in the likes of Toruń can be the symbol of a city! Here just for you...is a rather fetching angel beautifully lit by candlelight.

The Golden Angel

The sun rising or the Angel glowing? You decide!

Angels Above!

There is something quite charming about this decoration above a local shop. It is just an ordinary bike shop yet the entrance is very grand. Toruń has a fascination with angels. There was even a festival last year celebrating them. Polish people often give decorated angels as gifts and there are other paintings scattered around the city depicting angles. Hey...there is even a pub called "Pod Aniołem"...or "Under the Angel"!!!!
