Wawel Castle is located in Krakow -- a 10-minute walk from Market Square.
Krakow was the capital of Poland until the capital was moved to Warsaw, so the
town really was the seat of government (the nearby salt mine in Wieliczka
was one aspect of the area that made Krakow a suitable location). The chapel at
Wawel Castle, therefore, was where all but one of the kings of Poland were
coronated, and it was also Pope John Paul II's "home" chapel up until
he became the Pope. Click on the image to see a larger version.
