Archeological works that started in summer 2005, and supposed to last for 6 months, were extended after the scale and importance of the activity to be carried out was realized. In the end excavation of the area under the eastern part of Krakow's Main Square was completed after 5 years. This should not be a big surprise considering the archeological layers of the Main Square contain 1000 years of history. The result of this research is presented in the underground exhibition, whose main aim is to present very close connections between Middle Age Cracow and other Middle Age European cities.
Krakow's Main Square is an unusual place. Delineated in the middle of the XIII century, it became the principal public area of the city. Unchanged through centuries, today it is the heart of Krakow. But in order to see how it looked like in the late Middle Ages, in the time when Mikolaj Kopernik was walking about - one needs to go underground.
