Kraków In Your Pocket - Wawel Hill

 

http://krakow.inyourpocket.com Kraków In Your Pocket editor Garet Van Reed hikes up Wawel hill. The glorious ensemble that is Wawel, perched on top of the hill of the same name immediately south of the Old Town, is by far the most important collection of buildings in Poland. A symbol of national pride, hope, self-rule and not least of all fierce patriotism, Wawel offers a uniquely Polish version of Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey rolled into one. A gorgeous assortment of predominantly Romanesque, Renaissance and Gothic architecture dating from around the 14th century onwards, visiting Kraków and not seeing Wawel is like playing tennis without a ball.
