Maciej i Polita with the Rafter of Torun
According to legend, a raftsman playing the violin managed to lead thousands of frogs away from the city during a calamity of these amphibians. In honour of this hero a monument of the raftsman was erected in ToruÅ in 1914. Today the fountainâ“monument of the raftsman of ToruÅ surrounded by a herd of frogs stands near the south-west corner of the Old Town Hall.
