St Mary's Basilica

September 19 - 20

 

St. Mary's dominates the central square of Krakow. Like most churches in Europe, it was built, then partially destroyed by fire, flood or war and rebuilt, rebuilt and rebuilt. It is a magnificent building, the interior soaring so high and feeling so narrow that it does feel like it reaches to the stars. Robert was spoken to by a kindly guard after violating some camera regulatin, but he talked his way out of it. Below is a random assortment of photos that in now way does the basilica justice, but they do serve as a useful memory aid for me.
