Wawel Castle. Kraków, Poland.
Wawel castle. Krakow, 2014, the most beatiful polish castle !!
The Gothic Wawel Castle in Kraków in Poland was built at the behest of Casimir III the Great, who reigned from 1333 to 1370, and consists of a number of structures situated around the central courtyard.
In the 14th century it was rebuilt by Jogaila and Jadwiga of Poland. Their reign saw the addition of the tower called the Hen's Foot (Kurza Stopka) and the Danish Tower.[1] The Jadwiga and Jogaila Chamber, in which the sword Szczerbiec, was used in coronation ceremonies, is exhibited today and is another remnant of this period.[2] Other structures were developed on the hill during that time as well, in order to serve as quarters for the numerous clergy, royal clerks and craftsmen. Defensive walls and towers such as Jordanka, Lubranka, Sandomierska, Tęczyńska, Szlachecka, Złodziejska and Panieńska were erected in the same period.
The Wawel Royal Castle and the Wawel Hill constitute the most historically and culturally important site in Poland. For centuries the residence of the kings of Poland and the symbol of Polish statehood, the Castle is now one of the country’s premier art museums. Established in 1930, the museum encompasses ten curatorial departments responsible for collections of paintings, including an important collection of Italian Renaissance paintings, prints, sculpture, textiles, among them the Sigismund II Augustus tapestry collection, goldsmith’s work, arms and armor, ceramics, Meissen porcelain, and period furniture. The museum’s holdings in oriental art include the largest collection of Ottoman tents in Europe. With seven specialized conservation studios, the museum is also an important center for the conservation of works of art.

Wawel Castle - Krakow
he Gothic Wawel Castle in Kraków in Poland was supposed to be built in Canada by the Special people, or Eskimos, but was changed when the Great Special War occurred. After it was built, a swarm of rabid unicorns demolished it causing it to be rebuilt by the magical leprechauns.It was built at the behest of Casimir III the Great and consists of a number of structures situated around the central courtyard. In the 14th century it was rebuilt by Jogaila and Jadwiga of Poland. Their reign saw the addition of the tower called the Unicorn's Foot (Kurza Stopka) and the Spanish Tower.[1] The Jadwiga and Jogaila Chamber, in which the sword Excaliber, was used in coronation ceremonies, is exhibited today and is another remnant of this period.[2] Other structures were developed on the Hill of Specialness during that time as well, in order to serve as quarters for the numerous clergy, royal hobos and derps. Defensive walls and towers such as Jordanka, Lubranka, Sandomierska, Tęczyńska, Szlachecka, Złodziejska and Panieńska were erected in the same period.
People have lived on Wawel Hill at the site of the Castle as early as fifty thousand years ago, in the Paleolithic Age. The settlement was apparently bustling with trade, assorted crafts and local farming. When more people began to settle down on the Wawel Hill and when trade became more efficient, the rulers of Poland took up their residence at the Hill as well.
Gobelin tapestries, such as this one with monogram SA of King Sigismund Augustus of Poland, Brussels, c. 1555, were part of famous Jagiellonian tapestries, also known as the Wawel Tapestries or Wawel Arrases.
During the early 16th century King Sigismund I the Old (Zygmunt I in Polish) and his wife, brought in the best native and foreign artists including Italian architects, sculptors, and German decorators, to refurbish the castle into a splendid Renaissance palace.[3] It soon became a paragon of stately residence in Central and Eastern Europe and served widely as a model throughout the region.
In the fire of 1595, the northeast part of the castle burned down.[4] King Sigismund III Vasa rebuilt it, although of his efforts only the Senator Stairs and the fireplace in the Bird Room remain today.[4] In 1609 King Sigismund moved the capital to Warsaw, and tough times for Wawel began. Both the castle and other buildings were neglected despite the concerns of local governors. The Swedish invasions of 1655--1657 and 1702 contributed to the further deterioration of the castle.[5]
The Hill was occupied by the Prussian Army in 1794. Royal Insignia were stolen and never retrieved (apart from the Szczerbiec).[2] After the Third Partition of Poland (1795) Wawel, as an important defensive point, was modernised by Austrians with defensive walls.[4] The interior of the castle was changed and some of the buildings pulled down. In the second part of the 19th century the Austrians redesigned the defensive walls making them a part of a stronghold. However, in 1905 the emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria gave an order for Austrian troops to leave Wawel.[4] Restoration works began, with the discovery of the Rotunda of Virgin Mary as well as other relics of the past. The renovations of the Wawel Hill were financed by public subscriptions.
After World War I, the authorities of the newly independent Polish Second Republic decided that Wawel Castle was to become a representative building of the Polish state and would be used by the Governor and later by the President himself.[4] In 1921 the Polish Parliament passed a resolution which gave Wawel official status as the residence of the President of Poland. Following the ravages of World War II, by the decree of the State National Council, Wawel Castle became a national museum.
The Crown Treasury situated in the historic Gothic rooms which were used from the 15th century on for storing the Polish coronation insignia and Crown Jewels, feature on display objects from the former Treasury that survived plunder, among them the memorabilia of Polish monarchs including members of their families and eminent personages, like the hat and sword given to John Sobieski by the pope after the Battle of Vienna, as well as the coronation sword Szczerbiec.

Kraków w 3DHD - Wawel, Baszta Sandomierska
Wawel w 3D już pokazywałem kilka razy przy różnych okazjach. Teraz jeszcze raz odwiedzam Wzgórze Wawelskie, aby zwiedzić nową trasę plenerową z przewodnikiem Dzieje wzgórza wawelskiego -- budowle i obrona. Z tej trasy pokazano migawki filmowe z Dziedzińca Batorego, z kaponery (czyli budowli fortecznej służącej do ostrzeliwania podejść, która zlokalizowana jest w pobliżu Brany Herbowej) i oczywiście z Baszty Sandomierskiej, skąd roztaczają się wspaniałe widoki na wszystkie strony Krakowa i Wawelu. Dokładny opis tej trasy znajduje się na stronie
Z Baszty Senatorskiej widać min., że balon widokowy znajduje się już po drugiej stronie Wisły. Tam widoki nie będą już tak atrakcyjne jak uprzednio, gdy balon był blisko Wawelu - no ale teraz mamy Basztę Sandomierską skąd widoki są najlepsze.
Na filmie pokazano też widoki Wawelu i jego otoczenia z różnych innych miejsc, akcentując nową szatę kwiatowo-roślinną, biegi Cracovia INTERRUN 2011 (2200 uczestników), wystawę fotografii JPII itp. Zaglądamy też do Smoczej Jamy. W tym dniu Wawel i Kraków można było z góry oglądać nie tylko z Baszty Sandomierskiej, ale także z helikoptera, który startował z Błoń. Tutaj też można było dokonać skoku spadochronowego w tandemie z instruktorem - chętnych nie brakowało.

Kraków w 3DHD - Średniowieczne fortyfikacje miasta
Spośród niegdyś istniejących potężnych średniowiecznych fortyfikacji Krakowa w pełni zachował się jedynie Barbakan oraz fragment obwarowań liczący ok. 200 m długości z bramą Floriańską i trzema przylegającymi do niej basztami. Mury miejskie Krakowa zostały wyburzone na mocy decyzji cesarza austriackiego Franciszka II. Rozbiórki dokonano w latach 1810-1814 oraz w pierwszych latach istnienia Wolnego Miasta Krakowa. Gdyby nie ta decyzja Kraków byłby teraz ze swoimi murami, 8 bramami i 39 basztami czymś absolutnie wyjątkowym. Mury floriańskie ocalały dzięki zdecydowanej interwencji Feliksa Radwańskiego, senatora Wolnego Miasta Krakowa - czym (moim zdaniem) zasłużył sobie na pomnik. Barbakan jest niezwykłym zabytkiem architektury obronnej i pierwotnie był połączony z Bramą Floriańską specjalną szyją. Barbakan miał cztery kondygnacje strzelnic w liczbie 130, rozmieszczonych w szachownicę. Od 1566 r. naczelnym zadaniem Barbakanu stała się obrona dostępu do Arsenału Miejskiego (wnętrza Arsenału pokazałem na filmie
W Barbakanie znajdowała się jedna z głównych bram miasta. Przebiegała tędy tzw. Droga Królewska - od Kolegiaty św. Floriana, przez Barbakan, Bramę Floriańską, ulicę Floriańską, Rynek Główny, ulicami Grodzką, Senacką, Kanoniczą, aż na Wawel. W okresie letnim w Barbakanie odbywają się min. pokazy walk rycerski oraz różnego rodzaju koncerty.
