Short description of the Wawel Castle

The Wawel Castle used to beย aย home and a fortress of Polish kingsย while Krakow was the capital of the country. It has been a pride of the nation and a symbol of the regnant.

Wawel Castle is one of theย most important, the most beautiful, and the biggest Polish castles. Located on a hill, it is a complex of buildings surrounding a majestic yard.

Rebuilt and renovated many times due to fires, thefts and wars, it encompasses many different architectural styles. This incredible diversion lets us leave modern days behind and enter time machine while discovering the castle and admiring itโ€™s striking beauty.

Today the Wawel Castle is aย museumย in which you can marvel at the highest class works of art โ€“ stunning paintings, beautiful scultpures, sophisticated tapestries and many more.

Fun fact โ€“ up until recentlyย Da Vinciโ€™sย Lady with an ermineย was there for a few years โ€“ today you can see it in Krakowโ€™s National Museum (which, by the way, is also worth visiting!).

The castle also houses an important art conservation centre.

There is so much to see there!
