Poland


Krakow

This is an aerial photo postcard of Wawel Hill in Krakow.  The hill contains both Wawel Castle (on the right hand side) and Wawel Cathedral (the mostly-green-topped towers in the center of the photo.) 

Krakow was the capital city of Poland until the 1596.  It is telling that the royal castle is just a very short walk to the Cathedral.  Unlike Warsaw, Krakow was not destroyed during World War II.

A map with each of the places listed of Wawel can be found on Wikipedia here.
