Wawel Cathedral

A historic Polish basilica and the coronation site of nearly all Poland's monarchs, featuring royal tombs and Sigismund's Bell.

Within are crypts where Polish luminaries have been laid to rest for centuries; keep a lookout for the graves of no fewer than 10 kings and the honored revolutionary general Tadeusz Kosciuszko.
