"Ce monument a été détruit et reconstruit à trois reprises. C’est un des monuments historiques polonais les plus importants. Tout comme le centre historique de Cracovie, la Cathédrale est inscrite sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, et ce depuis 1978. Véritable sanctuaire national, de nombreux rois, reines ou encore poètes polonais y sont enterrés."

"UNESCO World Heritage The Polish Cathedral Basilica of Saints Stanistaw and Vaclav, more commonly known as Wawel Cathedral, lies on Cracow's Wawel Hill, and was built in 1320. The church is home to a number of ecclesiastical artworks in Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Romanesque styles, but it is best known as the coronation and burial site of the Polish monarchy for several centuries. It houses the marble tombs of the thirteenth century's King Vladislav | the Short, King Casimir Ill the Great and Queen-Saint Jadwiga, and the fourteenth century's King Vladislav II Jagiello and King Casimir IV Jagiello. It also has memorials to various historical figures such as clergymen, poets, national heroes, and three other saints, including the country's patron saint St. Stanistaw, an eleventh-century Cracow bishop who was killed by King Boleslav Ill. By the sixteenth century, monarchs broke with the tradition of being buried in the cathedral and were laid to rest in crypts such as the opulent, golden-domed, Renaissance, style Sigismund Chapel that houses the sarcophagi of King Sigismund I the Old, his wife, and his successor, who was the last of the Jagellion dynasty. The interior of the chapel is lavishly decorated. The cathedral is also famous for the Sigismund Bell cast in 1520 that measures 9 feet (2.7 m) across and weighs 18.5 tons. It hangs in the fourteenth-century church belfry, and local superstition says that those who touch the bell's clapper and make a wish will have their wish granted. Visitors can climb to the top of the belfry. Yet perhaps what is most notable about the cathedral is that it contains the 13-foot- (4-m-) high Gothic Crucifix of the Black Christ. According to tradition, the devoted young Queen Jadwiga often prayed before the crucifix, and during these frequent hours of prayer Christ spoke to her several times. Queen Jadwiga was canonized as a saint in 1997."

"  Home Travel Travel Europe 13 Best Things To Do In Krakow! January 13, 2021  Sharing Is Caring... Krakow is the second largest city in Poland and one of its oldest with parts dating back to the 7th century. It’s easy to see why tourists flock to this beautiful city. The historic centre is filled with colourful streets all leading off the huge main square Rynek Glówny, it has an abundance of amazing budget friendly restaurants and so many historic sights.

As the city has grown in popularity so has the swarm of tourists. Be prepared for crowds and a stready supply of stag and hen parties! Due to this, I would recommend visiting the city outside peak season (June-August) when the place is much quieter. Personally I would love to go back to Krakow in the winter when I can wrap up and explore with a steaming hot chocolate in hand. So if you are planning a trip, here are my recommendations on the 13 best things to do in Krakow: 1.Explore Market Square – Rynek Glówny  The market square in Krakow is the biggest of its kind in Europe. It’s probably one of the best too, filled with restaurants, bars and a variety of market stalls selling everything from flowers to cheap souvenirs. It really is a fabulous place to grab a drink or some lunch are watch the world go by. Be sure to check out the town hall and climb the steps to the top. It’s not quite as high as St Mary’s Basilica but the views are still pretty good! For more details on visiting the tower check out the official website here. 2. Wawel Royal Castle  Situated a short stroll through the old town you will find Wawel Castle perched on a hill overlooking the river. The castle grounds are free to enter, however you need to pay for each individual building you wish to visit. If you are interested in castles and history then you could easily spend a whole morning/afternoon checking out the whole place. If you wish to buy tickets for any of the building then I recommend skipping the first ticket office at the entrance as there’s usually large queue especially in the peak of summer. Instead walk into the grounds and you will find another ticket counter inside the visitor centre at the opposite end of the grounds. For further details on visiting Wewel Castle check out the official website here. 3. Wawel Cathedral  Also situated within the grounds of Wewel Castle you will find the amazing Wewel Cathedral. If like me you enjoy visiting Cathedrals and churches, then you will be amazed at this cathedral. Built in the 11th century the cathedral holds a special place in Polish history as it was the church of Polish kings for four hundred years. Today you can visit the many chapels and the sarcophagus of past Polish Kings as well as admire the beautiful architecture within. For more details on visiting Wewel Cathedral check the official website here. "
