🎧 Listen to Introduction
The historic centre of Kraków, Poland's former capital, lies at the foot of the Royal Wawel Castle. This 13th-century merchant town features Europe's largest market square and numerous historic houses, palaces and churches with ornate interiors. The remains of 14th-century fortifications and the medieval ruins of Kazimierz (with an ancient synagogue in the south of town), the Jagiellonian University and the Gothic cathedral where Polish kings are buried further testify to the town's fascinating history.
