Dinosaur Park at Baltow, Poland

For many years Poland lacked a good theme park, now dinosaur parks are everywhere. The country’s first park devoted to dinosaurs opened in 2004 at Baltow in the Kamienna river valley. Apart from dozens of natural size figures of dinosaurs and other extinct animals, the park offers a fossil museum and a children’s playground.

Hugh Statue of Jesus Christ in Poland

Big Jesus Christ's Statue by Reverend Sylwester Zawadzki

A huge statue of Jesus Christ was erected in a small Polish town, marking the end of a five-year project led by the local priest that has divided opinion throughout the country.

The effigy stands at a total of 51m (167ft). The statue itself is 33 m, one metre for every year that Jesus lived, according to creator Reverend Sylwester Zawadzki.

However, with its gold crown, the white landmark is 36m (118ft) tall, and if the mound it stands on is also taken into account, it measures 51m (167ft).
