Wawel Cathedral, Cathedral at Wawel Hill, Kraków, Poland.
The cathedral combines Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural elements, featuring a central nave, multiple chapels, and a distinctive golden-domed tower.
The present Gothic structure, built in the 14th century after two previous buildings were destroyed, served as the coronation site for Polish monarchs.
The cathedral contains numerous royal tombs, including those of kings, national poets Adam Mickiewicz and Juliusz Słowacki, and religious artifacts.
Visitors can access the cathedral through the main entrance on Wawel Hill, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the day.
The Sigismund Chapel, constructed between 1517 and 1533, represents the finest example of Renaissance architecture found outside of Italy.
