	Wawel Hill, Poland. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com
		Even after the capital moved to Warsaw, Polish monarchs continued to be buried in the cathedral, and it's at Wawel that many of the nation's venerated poets and heroes lie in state within a set of buildings that serve as a virtual textbook of Polish history.
		As such, Wawel represents a potent source of national and spiritual pride, and unusually in Kraków, there are always far greater crowds of Poles than foreigners looking around, many of them in large organized groups making a near-obligatory pilgrimage to the fount of national memory.
		In more recent times Wawel has been associated with an additional reason for making a pilgrimage here – the belief that one of the walls in the inner castle courtyard stands upon one of the world's main centres of spiritual energy.
