From the UNESCO website:
"The historic centre of Cracow, the former capital of Poland, is situated at the foot of the Royal Wawel Castle. The 13th-century merchants' town has Europe's largest market square and numerous historical houses, palaces and churches with their magnificent interiors. Further evidence of the town's fascinating history is provided by the remnants of the 14th-century fortifications and the medieval site of Kazimierz with its ancient synagogues in the southern part of town, Jagellonian University and the Gothic cathedral where the kings of Poland were buried."
The card was received in an envelope, February this year. It was a nice present from the mail at the end of my birth month :)
Have a great week everyone (despite the troubling heavy downpours here in Manila).

ReplyDeleteI didn't know much about Poland is until I joined Postcrossing. I received so many beautiful postcards that featured neat looking university ,churches and castles like this from Poland.
I love this card, it is indeed a fabulous city, I only hope progress doesn't spoil it.
