Wawel Castle






The seat of kings for over 500 years, Wawel Castle is perched on the top of a 50 meter high hill, which gives you a more or less interesting view of the city. This 10th Century castle is a mixed of Medieval, Romanesque, Renaissance and Baroque styles- a bit of everything really! I thought the grounds would be bigger than they were and I have to admit that I was a little disappointed when I got up on the top of the hill. But the cathedral was beautiful and the sun was shinning (a rarity during my time in Poland), so I sat down on a bench and wrote a few postcards, enjoying the views.
