The coronation church and burial place of Polish kings on Wawel Hill: the present Gothic cathedral was consecrated in the 14th century on the site of older churches. Nearly every Polish monarch was crowned and laid to rest here, and the Sigismund Chapel is a Renaissance gem. The 1520 Zygmunt Bell hangs beneath the dome, reached by a narrow tower stair. The cathedral itself is free to enter; some zones need tickets.
