Krakow’s magnificent Rynek Glowny is one of the largest Medieval squares in Europe and dates from 1257. It is dominated by the Sukiennice, the arcaded Renaissance cloth hall that stands in the centre, crowned by an elaborate attic construction known as a Polish parapet, and decorated with carved masks. The lower part of the building still serves as a market, selling traditional Polish crafts and food, and the upper floor is devoted to an exhibition of 19th-century Polish painting. On the southern side is the copper-domed Kosciol sw Wojchiecha (St Adalbert’s Church), Krakow’s first church, which dates from the 10th century and is the oldest building in the square. The Ratusz tower, with its Baroque spire, is all that remains of the 14th-century town hall after it was demolished in 1820 as part of a city development project. There are fine views over Krakow from the top.
