It's not medieval :bash: For me, it is the end of XVI or beginning of XVII centaury. Medieval Krakow was mostly built of wood.

The Middle Ages is a period of European history encompassing the 5th to the 15th centuries.

you might mean Krakow before relocation on Magdeburg Law in 1257. but even then (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=547351) Krakow had numerous stonewall churches. no wonder since it probably was a bishopric (http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biskupi_krakowscy) as early as 10th c.

as for burgher houses, I'm not a specialist, but you certainly cannot say that Krakow in Middle Ages was a wooden city.

I only said that this is not medieval Krakow. I don’t know this picture. However, there is new renaissance castle on the top of Wawel hill, people have renaissance clothes and Latin sentence on the top of the picture suggests that it was made before Warsaw became a capital city. So, I am almost sure that it is from the end of XVI century, i.e. not from middle ages.
I said mostly wooden. Of course, there was plenty of stone houses in medieval Polish cities but most of then was not. Especially, before German location. It is like in Warsaw now. There are some modern buildings, but most of them are old, dirty communistic tenements.

It's from 1619 r. (look up the link that I gave). Poland didn't have a formal capital until 1791 when the 3 May Constitution established it in Warsaw. up till then Krakow was considered the traditional capital, and it was there that royal coronations as well as burials were carried out. presently, historians point to 1609 as the date of the transfer of the capital to Warsaw, but in fact it's when Warsaw became a royal residential city. nothing more. however, at that time nobody knew it was going to be permanent:)

Thank you and my apologies. I didn’t notice that there is the exact date, but I was close;) I agree with your opinion about status of Polish “capitol cities”. I wrote this rather as a simplification.
