Market Square -- the largest square in Eastern Europe -- was our base of
operations. The Hotel Saski where we stayed was about a half a block off of the
square. Click on the image to see a larger version.
St. Mary's Church (Kosciol Mariacki) -- 300
years old and both a major tourist attraction and the site of the
wedding.
Market Square at night -- too bad I had not
yet really figured out how to effectively take night shots.
A view of St. Mary's Church at night from one
of the side streets off the square.
There were a number of interesting human form
sculptures around the square, most of them completed between 1997 and
2001 and only installed relatively recently.
More such sculptures -- the one on the right
had a touch of whimsy.
Right in the middle of the square was a long
structure -- Cloth Hall. It was filled with booths with various
knick-knacks (it seemed a bit like a tourist trap, but lots of locals
came here to shop as well). Upstairs was a museum of Polish art, which
was quite interesting (and free on Sundays!).
Another shot from inside Cloth Hall. Note the
sculpture outside (the same face that Julie is shown standing next to
above).
