We went to Poland to visit the city of Krakow with friends. We walked through the old quarter of the city admiring the architecture and buildings.

There is a large medieval main square in the central of the old quarter. It contains several unique buildings and several statues and monuments. The square is very large and covers nearly 10 acres. It dates back to the 13th century and is one of the largest in Europe. In the centre of the square is the cloth hall, which was built-in the renaissance period in 1555.

Vendors stalls are located inside the cloth hall. We walked through and checked the different vendors.

Many vendors were selling amber jewelery, which is common in Poland.

On one side of the main square is the beautiful Town Hall Tower.

On the other side of the square are the monument of Adam Mickiewicz made in 1898 and St. Mary’s Basilica.

In the main square on this particular weekend there was a traditional Polish food and crafts event. We walked through the different stalls admiring the crafts and enjoying the smells of the market. We even stopped to enjoy a Polish sausage.

All along the outside area of the main square are different restaurants. We stopped to relax and enjoy the scenery and bustling square with a beverage. There was even a pride parade going by while we were there.

In the evening the square is lite up with beautiful lights and has a different feel. There are horse-drawn carriages that are decorated with ornate features and lights.

The Medieval main square in Krakow is an amazing feature of the old town. It is bustling with people and activities, with bras and restaurants surrounding it. It was a very enjoyable spot and one we visited many times over our stay in Krakow.
