I found this little courtyard off one of the main streets in the Old town. It's part of one of the university colleges.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the things I love most about Krakow is the juxtaposition of old and new. The college is probably five or six hundred years old, while the sculpture is modern.
Although Krakow has strict building codes (nothing here is built more than 5 or 6 stories high, less in the center) and heritage regulations (the building I live in must adhere to them), the modern exists easily alongside the medieval.
