Cloth Hall

Cloth Hall, Old Town Krakow, Poland  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved

This elegant facade is the entry to Krakow's Cloth Hall. It has been the center of various trade in the old market square since the Renaissance. It is believed to be the oldest shopping mall still in use.

If only Walmart looked this good, the world would be a touch more stylish.

  5. Cracow is one of my favourites!
    Unfortunately, it was wet and misty when I was there.
    But it was kinda "atmospheric", I guess. ;o)

    >I see sweaters and jackets there…
    Yes, it was rather wet and windy in Sheffield!
    Very rubbish weather. Originally, I wanted to visit the Peak District and use Sheffield as a base.
    Guess I have to do the Peak District another time.
    Yorkshire has a lot to offer!
    Come and visit England soon. ;o)
    We don't have yackety yaks in England ,
    but Scotland does have horny and shaggy Highland cows!
