Description
Jan DÃ
âugosz`s house in the background with people walking under the wawel hill. Jan DÃ
âugosz`s house - Jan DÃ
âugosz's house (Dom DÃ
âugosza), at no. 25, has fourteenth-century origins, but in the first half of the sixteenth century it was completely revisited in Gothic-Renaissance style. Later baroque elements were added, including the main portal. In the fourteenth century this building at the foot of the Wawel was used as the royal bath. According to legend, the courtiers of the very young Queen Edvige spied on her future husband, Ladislao of Poland. The name currently attributed to the building recalls that in the fifteenth century it was the residence of the canon Jan DÃ
âugosz, the most eminent medieval Polish historian.
