The noise made by drums (or sometimes wooden pots) appears in almost every legend. It was he who contributed to the great victory of the inhabitants of the former Przeworsk over the army of Tatars.
According to some legends, the drums scared the enemy, and according to others, they warned the townspeople of Przeworsk against the threat. The inhabitants built a mound in Przeworsk to commemorate these events. First, an obelisk in the form of a column was erected on it, and later, though probably still in the 17th century, an openwork chapel was added. At the beginning, it housed a wooden figure of the Sorrowful Christ. With time, the obelisk itself tilted slightly, and the Pensive Christ was lost. A new figurine was put in its place.
The Tatar Mound
Drumming is inextricably linked with Przeworsk, and the march of drummers during Holy Week is a tradition known for centuries. When they are drumming, it means that the Easter Triduum has begun. All thanks to legends, which for sure have a grain of truth ...
How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links
Would you like to implement the project in your city as well?

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
