KRAKOW, A METROPOLIS OF TOURISM AND SPIRITUALISM
Abstract
The architecture and art of Krakow has clear traces of the influence of Rome, Byzantium, as well as the theological thought of the Greeks, Greek Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Protestants and adherents of Judaism. Currently, the two main monotheistic traditions of the East and the West remain connected in the works of Nowosielski, as well as in the form of one of the newest and largest churches. It is similar in Lviv, which remains an important part of the myth of Galicia. The myth itself remains a nostalgic memory of the past in the everyday life of Krakow, adding to its already substantial attractiveness to tourists. The third metropolis, Vienna, was once the place that used to establish the standards that the other two tried to emulate. Lviv will, quite soon, just like Vienna and Krakow, become an important hub of mass tourism, which is why the adaptation of its city center to the mass movement of tourists needs to be done carefully, so that its picturesque and unique nature will not be lost.
