The memorial designed by prof. Czesław Dźwigaj in 1998 commemorates the first mention of the pre-foundation settlement named Bochnia. It comes from the document of Monachus, the patriarch of Jerusalem, who in 1198 confirmed that Knight Mikor Gryfita presented the monastery of Bożogrobcy from Miechów with “Bochnia salt” (sal de Bochegna) (in approx. 1163-1175).
