Historic Metropolis and European Cultural Heritage
Krakow (Kraków) is one of the oldest and culturally most significant cities in Poland and the ninth station of the EVROVIZION project. For centuries, the city served as the capital of Poland and is an important centre for science, art, and politics.
Krakow is distinguished by its remarkably well-preserved old town, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city boasts numerous historic buildings, including the Wawel Castle, St. Mary’s Basilica, and the former Jewish district of Kazimierz.
Throughout its history, Krakow was influenced by various powers and experienced both periods of prosperity and severe hardships, especially during World War II and the Nazi occupation. Despite these challenges, Krakow preserved its cultural identity and became a symbol of Polish resistance and the revival of European culture.
Today, Krakow is a vibrant university city with a diverse cultural offering and a dynamic art scene. Within the framework of EVROVIZION, Krakow represents the connection between historical heritage and contemporary European culture.
