Wawel Cathedral — Attraction in Krakow

UK: Astonishing place, Wawe Cathedral also known as Cathedral of Saints Stanislaus and Wenceslaus - is the national sanctuary of Poland. It was the cathedral in which the coronations of Polish sovereigns were traditionally celebrated and is the mother church of the archdiocese of Krakow. It stands on the Wawel hill, south of the historic city center. Only only 4 stars because of the little kindness of the frustrated ticket holder who did not want to "accept" the university document because it did not report, we do not know what a damn stamp or who knows what... Typical of those who are frustrated with having a small brain like a peanut.
