Krakow's Wawel Castle is the most visited site in the country (which I think is a bit ridiculous seeing as though Auschwitz is an hour's bus ride away). There has been a castle on this spot in Krakow for as long as history has been recorded. Needless to say, the grounds and buildings of Wawel Castle have changed over the years.
Note the various architectural styles of the Wawel Cathedral. The white base of the nearest tower is the original Romanesque limestone from the 12th century.
The 20 chapels that range in styles: 14th century Gothic, 12th century Romanesque, 17th century Baroque, 16th century Renaissance, and 18th -19th century Neoclassical. Surprisingly, the diffferent styles go together quite well. Bonus: there's something for everyone's varied architectural tastes!
