Old Town Kraków


Welcome to Poland
Welcome to Poland

Here I am, being welcomed by a good samaritan who gave me directions to the local tavern.

The main square of Old Town Kraków is the largest medieval town square in Europe and dates back to the 13th century. The 15th century Cloth Hall (at the botton of the page) was once a center of international trade and is now considered the world's oldest shopping mall. The hall is topped with a Polish parapet and is crowned fanciful crest bearing mannerist gargoyles, probably designed by Santi Gucci.
