Town Halls and Public Buildings to visit Little Poland

While it stands in the center of the Rynek, with its beautifully renovated facade, this beautiful town hall copies the opulent town halls of Krakow's cities founded during the Renaissance, Kazimierz being the first. The similarity between this building, built between 1602 and 1626, and the present-day Museum of Ethnography in Kraków, also rebuilt between the 16th and 17th centuries, is striking: they both share a crenellated attic and a clock tower in the pure Italian tradition popularized by the Polish king Sigismund Iᵉʳ the Old and his wife Bonne Sforza.
