Krakow, Poland
KRAKÓW, the ancient capital of Poland and residence for centuries of its kings, was the only major city in the country to come through World
War II essentially undamaged. Its assembly of monuments, without rival in Poland, is listed by UNESCO as one of the world's twelve most
significant historic sites. The city is indeed a visual treat, with the Wawel being one of the most striking royal residences in Europe, and the old
inner town a mass of flamboyant monuments. For Poles, these are a symbolic representation of the nation's historical continuity, and for visitors
brought up on grey Cold War images of Eastern Europe they are a revelation. All the more ironic, then, that the government of the 1970s had to
add a further tag, that of official "ecological disaster area" – for Kraków's industrial suburbs represent the communist experiment at its saddest
extreme.
