Queen Jadwiga

The present Gothic Cathedral was built in the 14thC. over an earlier 10thC. building. Many of the altars are in opulent Baroque style. The tombs of most Polish kings are located in this Cathedral where they were crowned. One of the more beautiful tombs, always decorated with flowers, is that of Queen Jadwiga, who was the daughter of the King of Hungary Louis I. Her marriage to Prince Jogaila of Lithuania founded the Polish Jagie dynasty and created the union that lasted centuries. Note the dog lying at her feet.
