Sukiennice, or the Cloth Hall, is a historic building located in the Main Market Square of Kraków, Poland. Originally established in the 13th century, it served as a center for textile trade. The current Renaissance structure dates back to the 1550s after a fire destroyed the earlier Gothic hall. Today, Sukiennice houses a range of shops selling souvenirs, jewelry, and local crafts. The upper floor features the Gallery of 19th-Century Polish Art, part of the National Museum. Visitors can explore this iconic site daily from 10 AM to 6 PM, with an admission fee for the gallery. The building is accessible to all, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring Kraków's rich history and cultural heritage.
