Krakow, located in southern Poland, is renowned for its intact medieval center and Jewish district. The Old Town, encircled by Planty Park and the remains of the city's medieval fortifications, is anchored by the grand Rynek Gl�wny (main square). This historic plaza hosts the Cloth Hall, a trading center from the Renaissance period, and St. Mary's Basilica, a Gothic church dating back to the 14th century.
