“Cloth Hall” is a shopping gallery that appeared under King Boleslav V. Over the next centuries, the complex was rebuilt several times, overgrown with decorative elements, loggias, arches and columns. The building acquired its modern look at the end of the 19th century.

The Sukiennice is one of the city's symbols. It has existed since the 13th century, but initially looked completely different.
Still you can buy some things there, mostly souvenirs.

The grates of both ends were locked for the night to keep thieves away. A roofed masonry version of the Cloth Hall was built in the 14th century: its traces are visible to this day in the arcades on the shorter sides. Trading in the Cloth Hall was a significant source of the city’s revenue: according to a royal privilege cloth merchants arriving in the city could only sell their goods here.

A gorgeous historic building in Krakow, still in use today.
Little stalls inside selling lots of different things.
Even better is the trip underneath to see the history that lies beneath the main square.

Not just the Cloth Hall but the whole of Krakow has to be seen to be believed at Christmas even down to the salt mines. It may be cold but the people are lovely, very helpful. You want to see a beautiful Christmas market this is the place to go.
