Wzgórza Krzesławickie

Wzgórza Krzesławickie is a city district in northeastern Kraków made up of eleven neighborhoods. The area blends residential zones with green spaces that give it a more open feel than the city center.

The district grew from the village of Krzesławice, which first appeared in written records in 1228. It became a formal administrative district in 1991 as part of Kraków's urban reorganization.

The Manor House of Jan Matejko stands as an architectural monument from the early 19th century, preserving the legacy of this Polish painter.

The district connects to central Kraków via several bus lines that run regularly through the area. Local schools, shops, and clinics make it easy to find everyday services without traveling far.

Fort 49 is a preserved military structure built as part of Kraków's historical fortress system in the 1800s. This fortification remains largely unseen by visitors but represents an important layer of the city's defensive past.
