If you’re passing by here, pause and take a look. It’s a fascinating sculpture.

We found this interesting monument near the Cathedral Basilica of St Peter and Paul. Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus laid the foundations of modern astronomy. In an age when philosophers and the Church believed that the entire universe centered on the earth, the Polish mathematician and churchman dared to suppose that the earth revolved around the sun. The statue designed by Dudley Talcott was installed 1973 and commissioned by Polish-Americans of Philadelphia.
