Sofía says
In this park you'll see lots of pigeons and structures where people leave them food. For the Polish these doves aren't like any other, they have a special legend: once there was a prince who wanted to be king. To do that, he had to get a permit from Rome, so he found a fairy who agreed to lend him money to do the trip. This fairy kept other princes in her power as guarantee that this prince would give the money back, but he wasted it in alcohol and didn't make it. As a punishment, the fairy turned the princes into pigeons and voilá! Royal pigeons were born.
