11.00 - walk around the tenement house "Pod Kruki" with Marek Świdrak

Tenement house "Pod Kruki" is a living document of the history of the Krakow Market Square. In the past, it served as a bourgeois tenement, in the nineteenth century the Potoccy ran their salon here, until the outbreak of World War II at this address was a bank. The ICC has been operating in the building since 1991 . Subsequent architectural layers, such as medieval cellars, relics from the Gothic and Renaissance times, remnants of the nineteenth and twentieth century reconstructions which can be seen here allow you to understand how Krakow developed and changed.
