✨You must see St. Mary's Basilica (Bazylika Mariacka) in Krakow! ✨

I visited St. Mary's Cathedral in Krakow, Poland! 🏰 This cathedral is so overwhelmingly beautiful that it was featured in "Amazing Interior Decorations of the World," and I was moved as if I had opened a treasure chest of medieval art! 😍 First of all, the exterior of the cathedral is captivating. The two imposing Gothic towers stand out against the blue sky, making it a perfect symbol of Krakow's old town! 📸 In particular, the trumpet performance of "Heinau" that rings out every hour was a moment of history and culture 🎺. I couldn't help but stop and listen to the sound that reverberated throughout the city! When you go inside, you will be overwhelmed by the breathtaking beauty! 🌟 Behind the altar, Wit Stołosz's wooden carved altar is the pinnacle of art! 🙌 This altar, created in the 15th century, is vivid with the figures of the Virgin Mary and the apostles, carved in detail down to the last detail, making it seem as if a story is coming to life. When the light shines through the stained glass, the colorful light illuminates the altar, creating a fantastic atmosphere✨. The dance of light created by the blue and red glass made me feel like I was in heaven! 😇 The interior decoration is also gorgeous! The deep blue starry sky pattern🌌 on the ceiling and the frescoes decorating the walls are breathtaking no matter where you look. I forgot about time and was engrossed in the space where I could feel the weight of history and the craftsmanship⏳. There are many tourists, but the atmosphere as a quiet place of prayer is also well maintained, and it is a place where you can calm your mind🙏. If you visit Krakow, you cannot miss St. Mary's Cathedral! 📌 There are restrictions on photography, so I recommend taking a picture of your heart rather than your camera and enjoying it slowly📷. It was a great experience to immerse yourself in the beauty of this cathedral while strolling through the Old Town, a World Heritage Site! ✨ Next time I want to see the cathedral lit up at night~🌙 If you're thinking of traveling to Krakow, St. Mary's Basilica is a must! 💖 #Krakow #St. Mary's Basilica #BazylikaMariacka #PolandTrip #WorldHeritage #GothicArchitecture #InteriorDecoration #TravelDiary #EuropeTrip #WantToConnectWithArtLovers

One of the most striking artistic treasures inside the church is the 14-meter-high astronomical clock, which is located in the niche on the north side and was designed by Hans Dilling.
