Wawel Cathedral
Wawel Cathedral
The Royal Archcathedral Basilica of Saints Wenceslaus and Stanislaus on the Wawel Hill in Kraków is the spiritual heart of Poland. It was the site of royal coronations in the 14th–18th centuries and its crypts have been a burial place for Polish kings and queens, bishops of Kraków, saints, national heroes and greatest poets. The church is an amalgam of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles, and its golden-domed Sigismund's Chapel is considered a gem of Renaissance architecture.
