Car Rental at 'Krakow - Ul Balicka'

Those who are fond of mysteries head for Krakow in crowds. Last but not the least, they do that because there are lots of intriguing catacombs within the city. They are located under the church and the Franciscan monastery, whose construction dates back to the 17th century. More than a thousand monks, townspeople, and nobles found eternal peace here, but the key point is that due to natural conditions, the relics of the dead are preserved in the form of mummies. The remains of clergymen are honored here in a particular way – you can recognize them by their glass coffins. Also in front of “Kościół Rzymskokatolicki pw. św. Mikołaja” you can see the so-called “Lantern of the Dead” – this is a stone structure, specially built in front of buildings that housed infected people. Many legends are associated with such lanterns and this building is no exception.

There are fascinating sculptures in Krakow too. Interesting monuments reminiscent of the tragic events in the history of Poland include Plac Bohaterów Getta, Grunwald Monument. Fabryka Emalia Oskara Schindlera (by the way, the film “Schindler’s List” was shot right in Krakow. The shooting took place very close by, in Kazimierz district) and Muzeum Historyczne Miasta Krakowa Ulica Pomorska. It is also worth seeing the monument to dog Dzok, “The Head or Eros Bendato”, and monuments to the famous people of Poland such as; Adam Mickiewicz, Jan Karski, Peter Skrshinetsky, Peter Skarga, Jozef Pilsudski.
