Sukiennice, Gothic commercial building in Main Market Square, Kraków, Poland.
The Cloth Hall stretches along the center of Main Market Square with its ornate Renaissance facade and stone arcades measuring 108 meters in length.
King Casimir III initiated the construction of the trading hall in 1358, which became a primary center for international trade in textiles and salt.
The upper floor houses the National Museum Gallery containing masterworks of Polish painters from the 1800s, including Jan Matejko and Jacek Malczewski.
The ground floor contains multiple vendor stalls selling traditional Polish crafts, amber jewelry, leather goods, and textiles from Tuesday through Sunday.
Each arch of the building displays a different carved stone mask, created by Renaissance sculptors to represent merchant expressions during negotiations.
