Daily Life In Krakow

KRAKOW, POLAND - AUGUST 10, 2023: General view of the St. Mary's Basilica in Krakow's Market Square, on August 10, 2023, in Krakow, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland. St Mary's Basilica's iconic gilded crown was removed for restoration by September. Resistant to wind, frost and time, this historic treasure undergoes meticulous maintenance after 25-30 years of exposure to the elements. The renovation of the crown includes not only its intricate details, but also the revitalization of the entire top of the tower. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
