I visited several, generally named after the scene of the freeze located under their ceilings: the Tournament Room...
Our guide said: “There are seven such points in the world, in such places as Delhi, Mecca, Rome, and Jerusalem. There is also one point in Krakow.” That is believed to be in a certain back alley inside the Cathedral. “It has been visited so often by the believers that the Cathedral has closed off the entrance to it. Now the believers come and touch the wall closest to it.”
There are many chapels around the Cathedral. Curiously, this site also has had a special attraction to the Polish believers in Chakra.
Tadeusz Kosciuszko is a national hero in Poland because, as the Commander of the Polish National Armed Force, he led the 1794 uprising against the occupying forces of Russia and Prussia. Just inside the compound was the statue of Poland most recent hero: Pope John Paul II
Another person sported a license-plate frame on his car which had this disclaimer: “The license plate is from Warsaw but I live in Krakow.” A tour guide offered bluntly that “Warsaw is the ugliest city in the world, ruined in WWII and rebuilt by the Communists; an example is its Palace of Culture and Science, a ‘gift’ by Stalin.”
The train station in Krakow was also close to its major new shopping mall, the Krakow Plaza, but its feel indicated that this town was more a provincial center than Warsaw, the nation’s capital. From the taxi that took me to my hotel I could see the town’s cemetery. Next to it was a quaint flower market.
The Warsaw train station looked industrial, standing next to the swank new shopping mall of luxury stores. It was utilitarian. The large hall with a few chairs served many passengers as indicated by the busy schedules for the numerous trains posted on one wall that rose to its high ceiling.
