We started our day with a quick visit to the Saints Peter and Paul Church and then on to a very small underground museum with a bit of Krakow history.

We also went to the Kosciuszko Mound and museum. The museum was quite interesting and gave the history of a Polish national hero named Tadeusz Kościuszko. As a national hero of Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and the United States, Kościuszko has given his name to many places and monuments around the world. He even has a town named after him in Mississippi. After he died his body was interred beneath this 34-meter-high mound.
