Delve into the stories behind the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements that grace this historical treasure. Throughout its 1000-year history, the cathedral was the place of coronations of Polish kings, royal weddings, and christenings of royal children, as well as the burial place of almost all Polish rulers and people of special merit for the country. Saints Stanislaus and Wenceslaus are worshiped in it, inside there is the Altar of the Homeland, and above it, there is a huge Zygmunt Bell, decorated with numerous works of famous artists.
