WAWEL’S CATHEDRAL TOWERS

Towers   are  imprinted in Krakow’s landscape  and Wawel’s towers are one of them

Wawel Cathedral has 3 towers  : The Sigismund Tower ,  The Clock Tower and The  Silver Bells Tower .

The Sigismund Tower  ( not visible in the picture) houses the Sigismund bell which weighs over 12 tones  and is a  very important symbol of Krakow , casted in XVI century and funded by our King Sigismund The Old . It tolls on the national or religious holidays.

The Clock Tower is the tallest tower out of 3 towers and has the most splendid  baroque spire , according to a design by Kacper Bażanka,  surrounded by 4 figures of saints.

The Silver Bells Tower hosts 4 medieval bells  and also under the tower there is a crypt  with  a tomb of Marshall Józef  Piłsudski.

Each tower has its own history which  I could share with you during  our sightseeing.
