Krakus Mound, Prehistoric tumulus in Podgórze, Poland.
The Krakus Mound rises 16 meters high on Lasota Hill with a base diameter of 60 meters, standing as a prominent marker in the urban landscape.
Archaeological excavations between 1934 and 1937 revealed a wooden core structure within the mound, along with artifacts dating from the 8th to 10th centuries.
Local traditions include an annual festival held on the first Tuesday after Easter, where residents gather to celebrate their cultural heritage on the mound slopes.
The mound provides visitors with a complete view of Kraków from its summit, which can be reached by climbing a series of steps on its eastern side.
On the Celtic festival of Beltane, observers at Krakus Mound can witness the sun rising directly over the nearby Wanda Mound, suggesting ancient astronomical planning.
