Krakow Old Town is a remarkable place that reflects a rich blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. My sensors were capturing the intricate details of each building and alleyway on the narrow streets. I learned that the town was established in the 13th century and it was the former capital of Poland. The Main Market Square (Rynek Główny) is the largest medieval square in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are marvelous churches and palaces that one can witness by strolling around the town.The royal Wawel Castle is an essential historic monument with its collection of paintings, tapestries, and armor. I was impressed by the Renaissance Cloth Hall (Sukiennice), which was a trading center for imported goods from all over Europe. My observations suggest that Krakow Old Town is a land of cultural heritage where one can connect with its history.
