Poland’s Second City, Kraków is named after King Krak who may have founded the town over a cave occupied by a dragon some time long ago. Location, location, location! That myth aside, the area’s temperate climate and the navigable Vistula river made the location ideal. The city was the government’s home for centuries and its miraculously extant medieval and renaissance architecture reveals royal patronage. Hence the 1978 Unesco designation. Near that apocryphal cave stands the Saints Peter and Paul’s church. The ornate edifice is a major tourist attraction and was designed and built by a few Italian architects in the early 1600s. Just outside lies this manhole cover which features the city’s coat of arms surrounded by the text “waterworks” along with urban designations. A radial arrangement of rectangles grows from the core interrupted by foundry specifications and a symbol referencing Polish wartime grit.
