St John’s Cathedral in Old Town is a lovely little church; but more interesting is the tiny little square behind the church, called the Canon Square, which is home to an unusual monument. Overlooked by houses and apartment buildings, the square houses a massive bronze bell, called the Wishing Bell of Warsaw, made in 1646. It has been designed by the same artist who designed Sigismund’s Column, Daniel Tym. According to popular lore, people who circle the bell and make a wish have it come true. Interestingly, the bell itself has been polished to a fine sheen by people rubbing it.
