Wawel Castle, the former seat of Polish kings which overlooks the Vistula river.
One curiosity is that Wawel Castle is considered by Hindus to be one of the seven chakras of the world, created by one of seven stones thrown by Lord Shiva.
People have lived on the Wawel Hill as early as fifty thousand years ago, in the Paleolithic Age. During the early 16th century King Sigismund I (Krol Zygmunt I in Polish) and his wife, brought in the best native and foreign artists, that included Italian architects and sculptors, and German decorators to create the splendid Renaissance palace.
