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.

Si trova sulla collina di Wawel, a sud del centro storico della città.

Wawel Castle and Cathedral is on top of the list of the places to see in Cracow, Poland. Nearly 1000 years old, it is part of the Wawel Castle Complex and is a national sanctuary which served as the coronation site of Polish monarchs. On photos: Sigismund's Chapel (with a gold dome) and also Vasa Dynasty chapel (next to it). Other highlights: *Royal chapels and crypts, *The Royal Sigismund Bell - is the largest of the five bells hanging in the Sigismund Tower. The bell weighs almost 13 tonnes (28 thousand pounds) and requires 12 bell-ringers to swing it, *Zamek Królewski na Wawelu - is a castle residency. The castle is part of a fortified architectural complex erected atop a limestone outcrop on the left bank of the Vistula River, *Treasury and armoury - The Crown Treasury situated in the historic Gothic rooms which were used from the 15th century on for storing the Polish coronation insignia and Crown Jewels, feature on display priceless objects from the former Treasury that survived plunder, *Szczerbiec - is the ceremonial sword used in the coronations of most Polish monarchs from 1320 to 1764. It now is displayed in the treasure vault of the royal Wawel Castle, *Smocza Jama (Polish for "dragon's den") is a limestone cave in the Wawel Hill in Kraków. Owing to its location in the heart of the former Polish capital and its connection to the legendary Wawel Dragon, it is the best known cave in Poland. *Very nice coffee shop with a great view of the...

This magnificent cathedral stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Poland.What struck me the most was the meticulous care and effort put into preserving its authenticity and appearance. The workers and craftsmen who have dedicated themselves to maintaining this historic treasure deserve the highest praise. Their dedication to preserving every intricate detail is evident in the cathedral's stunning architecture, exquisite artwork, and intricate stained glass windows.Exploring the cathedral felt like stepping back in time, and I was overwhelmed by the sense of history that permeates every corner. From the royal tombs to the breathtaking chapels, every element tells a story of Poland's past.Wawel Cathedral is a true architectural masterpiece, a testament to the dedication of those who work tirelessly to keep its splendor intact. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in history, art, or simply the beauty of human craftsmanship. My visit left me with a profound appreciation for the cultural treasures that Poland...

The beautiful and architecturally impressive Wawel Cathedral is a sight to behold. The stunning golden globe that adorns the roof is surrounded by detailed and ornate elements that collectively make up this stunning cathedral.
