Krakow's Rynek Glowny Central Square

5.1

4.6/5

79 reviews

The central square in Krakow can be called the largest medieval square in Europe. It is also a very exciting place in Krakow. It is warm and vibrant. Many people come to Krakow to experience the authentic local customs of Poland. The brick red Church of the Virgin Mary on the square is the symbol of Krakow, and when the sun shines, it emits a charming warm red. The textile hall with a white Renaissance building in the middle has now been converted into a shopping mall and a museum. The dazzling amber accessories, dishes, Polish dolls, gloves and sweaters in the shopping mall are the reasons why tourists love to stop. As the hour approaches, people walking and drinking coffee in the square will stop and pay their respects to the church - when the hour arrives, the small window at the top of the church bell tower will open and a golden trumpet sticks out , playing a piece of tune loudly, and after the end, the player will wave to the people below, so there will be whistles and applause from people in the square. The tradition of playing the trumpet is to commemorate the invasion of nomads from the Mongolian plateau in the 8th century, when an enemy soldier shot an arrow through the throat of the player at that time, and the sound stopped abruptly. To commemorate this soldier, until now, the horn sounded on the hour was abruptly terminated at that moment.

Krakow's St. Mary's Basilica is one of Poland's most beautiful Gothic landmarks. It rises 81m and is a prominent feature around the square. It was built in honor of Mary. For centuries, St. Mary's Basilica has served as the city's principal cathedral, reflecting the typical architectural style of early Christian churches. The building was constructed from handmade red brick, and the church's main structure was completed in the late 14th century. The interior decoration, the tower, and the roof took a full century to finish. The Gothic spire was completed in 1478, and the golden crown atop it was added in 1666 to represent the royal authority of Queen Maria of Poland. The tower also serves as a belfry and houses five large bells. At the top of every hour all five ring together, and their melodious sound can be heard even in distant suburbs. Every hour the trumpeter in the church tower sounds a long note. According to records, this tradition commemorates a medieval trumpeter who loyally stood his post while defending the city against invaders.

It has scenery, history, delicious food, cultural heritage, good public security, low prices, high-quality locals, and English is widely spoken. It is worth a visit.

The Basilica of Our Lady of Krakow, built in the 13th century on the Central Market Square of Krakow, is a Gothic-style building with two towers, one high and one low. The exquisite carvings, brightly colored wall paintings, dazzling glass windows, and the dome that looks like a starry sky are all eye-catching. Every time it is close to the hour, a large number of tourists will spontaneously gather near the Basilica of Our Lady to wait for the trumpeter in the bell tower to blow, in memory of the brave trumpeter who blew the alarm when the Mongols attacked the city in the 13th century but was shot in the throat by an arrow.
