Rynek Underground Museum
Archaeological site of medieval streets, market stalls and feared vampire graves below the pavement.
This guide to the Rynek Underground Museum in Kraków starts with a skeleton found bound and beheaded beneath the city's main square, one of several so-called vampire graves from a medieval cemetery a thousand years old. It follows the archaeologists who began digging under the Cloth Hall in the two-thousands, uncovering cobbled streets, stall footings and workshops from thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Kraków alongside those graves. You'll hear why medieval gravediggers bound and pinned certain bodies rather than simply burying them. Walk the glass walkways above the old street line to trace the route medieval traders once took.
