		Legend has it that during one of the early Tatar raids the watchman positioned at the top of this tower saw the invaders approaching and took up his trumpet to raise the alarm; his warning was cut short by a Tatar arrow through the throat.
		The legend lives on, and every hour on the hour a lone trumpeter plays the sombre hejnal melody, halting abruptly at the precise point the watchman was supposed to have been hit.
		The national radio station broadcasts the hejnal live at noon every day and Polish writers are still apt to wax lyrical on the symbolism of the trumpet's warning.
