A historic city in southern Poland, former royal capital and major cultural center. Also spelled Cracow in English.
From Polish Kraków, possibly derived from legendary founder Krak or from 'krak' meaning raven. The city's name has remained relatively unchanged since medieval times.
Krakow's medieval Old Town is so well-preserved it became one of UNESCO's first World Heritage Sites in 1978. The city was spared destruction in WWII, making it Poland's most architecturally intact historical center.
