Why you should visit it

Ninteenth century, unashamedly Romantic and nationalistic, the vast blazing canvasses by Jan Matejko in particular depict Poland’s greatest victories and mythic events, and served as a rallying call during her long partition.

Special tip

Enjoy a coffee at their cafe with one of a kind views of the square and Saint Mary's Basilica.
