The cathedral features a statue of the Wawel dragon and a plaque commemorating his defeat by Krakus, a Polish prince who, according to the plaque, founded the city and his palace over the slain dragon's lair. The dragon's cave below the castle is now a popular tourist stop. [1][2]The Wawel dragon, in Sebastian Münster's Cosmographie Universalis(1544)ads not by this site
