Cloth Hall
The Renaissance Sukiennice (Cloth Hall, Drapers' Hall) in Krakow is one of the city's most recognizable icons. It is the central feature of the Main Market Square in the Kraków Old Town.
It was once a major centre of international trade. Traveling merchants met there to discuss business & to barter. During its golden age in the 15th century, Sukiennice was the source of a variety of exotic imports from the East – spices, silk, leather & wax – while Krakow itself exported textiles, lead, & salt from the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
Nowadays it is a haven for tourists looking to pick up quality souvenirs such as amber, craft, animal fur & more modern items.
