Wadowice

Wadowice straddles the Skawa River in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, a foothill position that gives the town a markedly different scale from nearby Kraków. It is internationally associated with Karol Wojtyła, born here in 1920 and later known as Pope John Paul II. His family home on Market Square is now a museum, while the nearby Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the church where he was baptised. Wadowice also keeps its culinary association with kremówka, the cream-filled pastry famously recalled by the pope.
