The 13th century Basilica of the Virgin of Krakow, built in the central market square of Krakow, is a Gothic design with two towers, one tall and one short in its own features. The interior of the church is beautifully carved, beautifully painted colored walls, dazzling glass windows, and a starry dome. Near the hour, a large number of tourists spontaneously gather around the Temple of the Virgin to wait for the trumpeter of the bell tower to blow, in memory of the brave trumpeter who blew the alarm when the Mongols attacked the city in the 13th century, but was shot in the throat by a bow and arrow.

    The horns can be heard on the top of the tower of the Virgin Mary Church every hour in the market square in Krakow, Poland. The two towers of the Virgin Mary Church are tall and short. The church has been restored countless times since the Middle Ages. There are many beautiful sculptures in it, which are magnificent. From wall murals, to domes, to altars, scripture altars, choir seats, everything seems to be exuding a dazzling color. The old city of Krakow was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978. The Cathedral of Santa Maria is a typical Gothic building, a model of Polish Gothic architecture. The entire church was built with handmade red bricks, and it took a century to build the interior, the tower and the top of the church.

    The Maria Church is a brick Gothic church adjacent to the main market square in Krakow, Poland. It was built in the 14th century and dates back to the early 13th century. It is one of the best examples of Polish Gothic architecture. The 80-metre-high church is famous for its wooden altar carved by Veit Stoss. In 1978, it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the historic center of Krakow.

    An unusual shaped church sitting on a square, it makes for great pictures. Being so tall you won’t miss it.

    The Church of the Virgin Mary is the tallest building on the central square in Krakow, and the red building looks very conspicuous. The interior decoration and items are not very luxurious, but the walls and glass are really colorful, it feels a bit like the style of the mosque, it feels amazing.

    The church of Mary should be the most targeted building in the central square, the red brick exterior wall, plus the towering roof, has been attracted to her from afar, the interior decoration is even more exquisite, whether it is the altar and statues have been amazing. Unfortunately, I can't take pictures when I go in, I can't take pictures.
