Kraków’s Rynek Główny, Poland (Central Square) the nerve centre of the city’s medieval Old Town
Main Square, Kraków
The main square (Polish: Rynek Główny [ˈrɨnɛk ˈɡwuvnɨ]) of the Old Town of Kraków, Lesser Poland, is the principal urban space located at the center of the city. It dates back to the 13th century, and at 3.79 ha (9.4 acres) is one of the largest medieval town squares in Europe. The Project for Public Spaces (PPS) lists the square as the best public space in Europe due to its lively street life, and it was a major factor in the inclusion of Kraków as one of the top off-the-beaten-path destinations in the world in 2016.
The main square is a square space surrounded by historic townhouses (kamienice) and churches. The center of the square is dominated by the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice), rebuilt in 1555 in the Renaissance style, topped by a beautiful attic or Polish parapet decorated with carved masks. On one side of the cloth hall is the Town Hall Tower (Wieża ratuszowa), on the other the 10th century Church of St. Adalbert and 1898 Adam Mickiewicz Monument. Rising above the square are the Gothic towers of St. Mary's Basilica (Kościół Mariacki). Kraków Main Square does not have a town hall, because it has not survived to the present day.

Szarytki obchodzą jubileusz 190-lecia - Sandomierz News 2009.12.20
Sandomierskie wiadomości z 20 grudnia 2009. Siostry ze zgromadzenia św. Wincentego a Paulo zwane Szarytkami świętują jubileusz 190-lecia istnienia zakonu w Sandomierzu. Dawniej przede wszystkim pracowały w szpitalach, dziś pomagają chorym i niepełnosprawnym w domach. Praca w kościele św. Ducha to też jeden z obowiązków sióstr. Zgromadzenie kontynuuje tradycje dobroczynności zapoczątkowane tu w XIII wieku. Zakonnice pomagają też niepełnosprawnym, a najnowszą inicjatywą jest otwarte przez Szarytki okno życia. Przede wszystkim ich praca jest cicha, pokorna, i to co można zauważyć w ich charyzmacie zakonnym, że są najbardziej tam, gdzie powinny być wśród ludzi najbardziej potrzebujących. W sandomierskim klasztorze miaszkają zaledwie trzy siostry szarytki.

POLAND: POPE FALLS AND CUTS HEAD
English/Nat
Pope John Paul II fell and cut his head on Saturday before leaving Warsaw for an open-air Mass, requiring three stitches on his right temple.
The pope's accident could have brought a halt to his tour of Poland but the pontiff arrived on time for the Mass in the southeastern city of Sandomierz with a bandage visible just below his skullcap.
A pilgrimage far from the Vatican, a packed schedule and hundreds of thousands of faithful eagerly awaiting Pope John Paul II.
The pope's fall on Saturday, as he was preparing to leave Warsaw, bore the potential for a medical and planning emergency, but it is a risk the Vatican takes to meet John Paul's desire to keep on the road.
The Pope greeted officials as he climbed unaided from his helicopter, and appeared to be coping well when he first arrived in the city of Sandomierz.
Thousand of people pressed to get close to him as he went through the streets in his pope mobile.
The only time the pope appeared more fragile than usual was when he had trouble climbing the stairs to his chair and was helped by two aides.
But he sounded strong and did not appear to be in pain.
The accident came after the most rigorous day of his Poland pilgrimage.
On Friday he attended an early morning Mass followed by five speeches - including an address to parliament - reception lines and prayers at two memorials.
According to Joachim Navarro-Valls, a Vatican spokesman, the pope slipped accidentally and his head hit the ground while he was leaving the papal nuncio's residence in Warsaw around 8 a.m. local time (0600 GMT).
He said he did not know what had caused the pope to fall.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
This morning before leaving his residence of the papal nuncio in Warsaw, the holy father slipped accidentally and procured a slight cut in the right hand of his forehead that was treated with three stitches. There were no variations at all in his biological parameters, blood pressure or weight or whatever, and the programme of the trip continues as planned for those days still remaining in Poland.
SUPER CAPTION: Joachim Navarro-Valls, Vatican Spokesman
The pope himself made no reference to the accident.
He did not appear to have been greatly shaken by the incident although he has been in ill health in recent years.
He arrived in his native Poland on June 5th and is scheduled in for a 13-day pilgrimage.
