Jagiellonian Kraków, 1400
Kraków in 1400 is a rising royal capital under early Jagiellon rule, its castle and cathedral on Wawel Hill already the city's ceremonial heart while the vast Rynek pulses with long-distance merchants. The walk follows the medieval approach, passing fortified gates, the Cloth Hall and market stalls, the developing Collegium Maius and the separate royal town of Kazimierz across the Vistula meadows.
36 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Kraków as it stood in 1400 (“History of Kraków”).
