Polskie krzyże, kapliczki i figury przydrożne zwane tatarskimi
Polish Crosses, Shrines and Roadside Figures Referred to as Tatars

Summary/Abstract: The landscape of Polish towns, villages, fields, forests and crossroads is marked by the presence of crosses, chapels and statues. Some of the objects of small religious architecture, which have survived to modern times, have survived in an unchanged, original form, while many are a continuation of earlier structures, which were destroyed by the passage of time or deliberate human action. Some of the sites are associated with legends and stories related to the Tatars in various ways. The text collects, presents and discusses Tartar connections describing the stories of these Christian religious buildings.
