On the main square of Wisła, Bogumiła Hoffa Square, stands the openwork metal Warsaw Mermaid. And not because the sources of the Vistula River are nearby, but it is a way of thanking the capital for helping in the post-war reconstruction of the city.
The Warsaw Mermaid was built in Wisła in 1958. It was made in a forge in nearby Ustroń. And although apparently in the 1980s they wanted to remove it as a relic of communism and replace it with a Juhas monument, the Mermaid not only survived, but, renovated, became one of the symbols of the city.
