Crossing into the old town from Kazimierz
at the north walls, I came to the reconstructed old watch tower. It gives
an idea of how important protecting the city was for most of its history.
Along the base of the wall are stalls
selling reproductions of famous works and scenes from historical life in
Krakow.
Outside the walls, a series of statues
play homage to historucal figures and epochs in Polish history.
Looking back toward the city, the spires
from the main town square rise above the walls.
Walking into the walled city, I passed
traditional Polish resturants and streets filled with buildings that predated
the 20th century
