Architecture of the Krakow Skyline
Krakow skyline: hills, kings and eternal memory
Skyline of Krakow following a continuous route that unites landscape, modernity and medieval heritage in a single skyline.
The silhouette starts with the Kopiec Kościuszki, an artificial hill erected in honor of the national hero Tadeusz Kościuszko, whose elevated presence marks the symbolic beginning of the city skyline. Next emerges the contemporary vertical of the Unity Tower, a modern contrast that introduces today's Krakow.
The line descends towards the historic city with the robust Barbakan, an ancient circular fortification from the 15th century, linked to the slender Brama Floriańska, a medieval gate that opens the access to the Stare Miasto. In the background looms the modern silhouette of the K1 "Błękitek" skyscraper, bringing a second contemporary reading to the ensemble.
In the heart of the old town rise the uneven towers of the Bazylika Mariacka, dominating the Rynek Główny, next to the Wieża ratuszowa, the only remnant of the old medieval town hall. The line continues with the monumental Baroque facade of the Kościół św. Piotra i Pawła and the profile of the Kościół św. Andrzeja, one of the best preserved Romanesque temples in the city.
The skyline then ascends towards Wawel Hill, where the Zamek Królewski na Wawelu and the Wawelska Katedra, Poland's historical and spiritual core, the scene of royal coronations and national pantheon, are cut out.
Further south, along the Vistula, appears the Bazylika św. Michała Archanioła i św. Stanisława na Skałce, an enclave deeply linked to Polish religious identity. Finally, closing the horizon, rises the Wieża telewizyjna na Krzemionkach, a contemporary landmark that completes the city's skyline.
A skyline where memorial hills, medieval walls and the majesty of Wawel build one of the most recognizable and symbolic silhouettes of Central Europe.

FAQs
How can they be attached to the wall?
In the product we include an envelope with padded double-sided adhesives to fix on the wall. They are transparent dots that must be peeled off and placed on the back of the piece distributing them evenly and in the thickest parts of the skyline, then remove the protection on the other side and fix on the wall.
If you need more information, you can consult our Instructions section, where you will find detailed and useful information on how to use our product.
Can it be hung on stippled or plastered walls?
There would be no problem to fix the skylines on a stippled wall as the double-sided adhesive tape we include is padded and very resistant. In addition, the skylines are not too heavy. However, you have to consider the roughness and type of stippling on your wall. We do not recommend it for brick or plastered walls. The ideal is to place it on a smooth wall, because it adheres better.
Is it possible to make this model in custom size or larger?
At the moment it is not possible, as we must take into account the logistical limitations of packages larger than 100 cm.
Is it possible to order a city that is not in the catalog?
Every week we include new cities in the catalog. You can vote your city or town in the application section to be published soon. It works by a voting system.
Exactly what material is it made of and what is the finish like?
Each piece is made from 6mm thick sustainable birch wood, chosen for its elegant grain and durability. The cut is made with high precision laser for impeccable detail and the edges are hand polished. It is a piece of craftsmanship designed and made in Spain.
