You can go up this street to Kościuszko Mound, a unique structure created in the 19th century to commemorate the Polish hero. The Mound offers a great view of the whole Cracow and the area. If the weather is good, you can even see the Tatra mountains. Below there are the 19th century fortifications. it’s really a magical place, an island of peace in the busy city.
