30th April 2014
Cracow is said to be a city of a hundred churches. There is not slightest exaggeration in this statement. Today one can count as many as 119 churches in the city. The churches best represent the history of Cracow's architecture. Not only are Cracow churches and convents places of religious worship, they are homes to numerous historic mementoes and priceless works of art and culture.
