Cracow (Polish: Kraków) is one of the oldest and historically most important cities of Poland. Over 750,000 inhabitants live here, so it is second only to Warsaw in size.

The Jagiellonian University of Cracow (Uniwersytet Jagielloński) was founded in 1364 by Casimir III the Great with a license of pope Urban V.

Since 1978, the historical center and the Wawel castle are listed as World Heritage Sites by the UNESCO.
