From Wikipedia The Wawel Castle (Polish pronunciation: [ˈvavɛl]; Zamek Królewski na Wawelu) is a castle residency located in central Kraków, Poland. Built at the behest of King Casimir III the Great,[2] it consists of a number of structures from different periods situated around the Italian-styled main courtyard. The castle, being one of the largest in Poland, represents nearly all European architectural styles of medieval, renaissance and baroque periods. The Wawel Royal Castle and the Wawel Hill constitute the most historically and culturally significant site in the country. In 1978 it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Historic Centre of Kraków. The castle is part of a fortified architectural complex erected atop a limestone outcrop on the left bank of the Vistula River, at an altitude of 228 metres above sea level.[3][4] The complex consists of numerous buildings of great historical and national importance, including the Wawel Cathedral where Polish monarchs were crowned and buried. Some of Wawel's oldest stone buildings can be traced back to 970 AD, in addition to the earliest examples of Romanesque and Gothic architecture in Poland.[5][6] The current castle was built in the 14th-century, and expanded over the next hundreds of years. For centuries the residence of the kings of Poland and the symbol of Polish statehood, Wawel Castle is now one of the country's premier art museums.[3] 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. From https://wawel.krakow.pl The Guest Bedroom The room has retained its original Renaissance larch wood ceiling, and a painted wall frieze depicting human heads from the first half of the 16th century. The oldest tapestry in the castle’s collection (15th C.) portrays "The Story of the Knight with the Swan". Among paintings from the collection of the Lanckoroński family, there are valuable works by Simone Martini, Bernardo Daddi and Jacopo del Sellaio. The late Renaissance English style bed evokes the original character of the room. The impressive 18th century tile stove comes from the castle in Wiśniowiec. The Hens Foot These two small rooms are situated in the Gothic 14th century little Belvedere corner tower (first renovated in Renaissance times and again in the 20th century), in part of the castle once known as the Hen’s Leg. Its windows present a panoramic view of the Old City of Cracow. The function of these rooms is unknown. Perhaps Kings sat here in solitude contemplating vital issues. The portals with the coat of arms of the Vasa family and the fireplace both date from c. 1600. In the interwar period the present ceiling with a plafond painted by Zygmunt Waliszewski was added, and the walls were lined with 18th century cordovan. There are also Renaissance paintings, predominantly French. The Column Hall Silverware was stored here in the 16th century, but in the 18th century colu mns were added and it was transformed into a formal room. At present the interior is arranged in the spirit of Classicism. The portraits of Polish dignitaries date from the reign of Stanislas Augustus Poniatowski. Among them is a portrait of the King from the workshop of Marcello Bacciarelli. There is a set of Classicistic furniture with cordovan upholstery. My name is Eric Clark and I am a world traveler.
