Today, it is commemorated on the lower slopes of the Wawel Hill where by the river, is a modern fire-breathingmetal statue of the dragon. The statue is sited in front of SmoczaJama, one of the limestone caves scattered over the hill. The dragon, SmokWawelski, was a mystical beast which supposedly terrorised the local community, eating their sheep and local virgins, before (according to one version) being heroically slain by Krakus, a Polish prince, who legend relates founded the city of Cracow and built his palace above the slain dragon's lair. The oldest known literary reference to the Wawel dragon comes from 12th century, in the work by WincentyKadłubek.
