Kraków Barbican (June 2021)
It’s not every day that you run into perfectly preserved buildings from the 15th Century. I don’t know if the barbican normally looks like this as it is now a tourist attraction, but during Covid, everything was closed so tourists weren’t crawling all over this gem.
Juliusz Słowacki Theatre behind Plac Św. Ducha (Krakow, Poland – June 2021)
Until 1891, a large hospital was located in the foreground next to the church on the right (Church of the Holy Cross, built in the 14th Century). The hospital turned into a jail for over a decade in the 19th Century before being demolished to make way for the theatre. I really wanted to go inside as photos of the interior look incredible, but thanks to Covid-19, it was closed.
Saint Mary’s Basilica (Krakow, Poland)
