Kanonicha street

Poland, Krakow
The oldest street in Krakow. The name comes from the canons of the Wawel Cathedral, whose houses make up a significant part of the street. Most of the houses were built in the 14th-16th centuries and were later reconstructed. Now, hotels are located within the walls of some houses, and restaurants are located in the courtyards. Among the most famous buildings of the street are the house of Jan Długosz and the palace of Bishop Erasmus Ciolek. The portals of many houses are crowned with the image of a cardinal's hat - a sign that a bishop lived here.

The oldest street in the city. Initially, the settlement was called Okul, and in 1401 it was annexed to Krakow. The name of the street comes from the canons of the Wawel Cathedral, whose houses make up a significant part of the street. Most of the houses were built in the 14th-16th centuries. It is clear that they were later reconstructed, but the old portals are usually preserved. Many portals have ancient mottos in Latin - this feature is characteristic of Canon Street. Among the outstanding buildings are the house of Jan Dlugosz, the palace of Bishop Erasmus Tsiolek, and the Dzekanka (residence of the deans of the Cracow Chapter).
