We started our visit of Krakow at the Wavel. The Wavel was former residence of the polish kings of Krakow and together with the old city of Krakau UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Rynek Glowny (Market Square) - one of the largest medieval squares in Europe.
The following pictures shows Market Square with the Church of St. Adalbert in the background. St. Adaobert Church is of romanesque origin and one of the oldest stone churches in Poland.

Excavations revealed a wooden structure built in the 10th century which was followed by a stone structure in the 11th century.
One of the most impressive sights at Market square is certainly the Church of the Virgin Mary.
Especially the interior of the church is amazing. In particular, the high altar by Veit Stoss is really impressive.
