Sukiennice – the Cloth Hall in Krakow (Poland)

The Sukiennice in Krakow (Polish: Cloth Hall) is one of the most valuable monuments of Renaissance architecture in Poland and a symbol of the Main Market Square. The original building was built in the 13th century as a covered market hall, where mainly canvas was traded, hence its name. The building was rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 15th century, and in the middle of the 16th century - after a fire - it was given a Renaissance form with a unique attic, designed by Giovanni Maria Padovano. For centuries, the Sukiennice was an international trade center, where luxury and exotic goods were sold. Today, it houses souvenir stalls and a branch of the National Museum. It is one of the most important tourist attractions in Krakow and a symbol of the city's history.

A fairly large, richly detailed, well-designed and beautifully designed model for medium-experienced and experienced modelers. But is it really only for them? Working under the supervision of a more experienced colleague, this excellent architectural maquette will be assembled quite easily by a less experienced modeler, but haste, carelessness, and all kinds of other bad work qualities must be "Persona non gratta" - undesirable here. There is no reserve of colors or textures, there are no text instruction, the graphical instruction, although small, is quite readable, informative and should be enough for a good model assembly.
