Krakow 2000
Richard Monte looks at the history and heritage on show in Kracow, one of the European Cities of Culture 2000.
The Polish city of Krakow, with its royal castle and cathedral, its medieval university and market square, has always been a centre of political, religious, educational and commercial interest. This year, as one of the European Cities of Culture, this rich heritage has become the focus of a programme of festivities, which underline why this Polish city is one of Europe’s cultural treasures.
