Cathedral of St. Stanislav and Wenceslas

The building, which tourists can see today, dates back to the XIV century. Its central object is the Altar of the Fatherland, on which the kings laid their war trophies. There are also royal sarcophagi made of stone. Since the XIV century, the cathedral has long been chosen as a place for the coronation and burial of Polish kings and national heroes. So, next to the royal persons in the tomb were the poets – Juliusz Slovak and Adam Mickiewicz.

There are mammoth bones at the entrance to the temple. A very unusual attribute for the temple appeared here in connection with the belief that the bones of this animal will bring peace and prosperity to the land on which they are located.

In one of the towers of the cathedral is the largest bell in Poland - Sigismund. On the bell tower, where it is installed, you can also make an excursion, but climbing it is quite difficult, since it is a pile of wooden beams, and you need to seep into the narrow holes between them in a barrel. Having overcome all the torments, you find yourself on the top of the bell tower, from where the panorama of the Old City opens.

The fee for the entrance to the cathedral, inspection of the bell tower, crypts and for a book with information about the cathedral will be 23 PLN.
