Pałac Potockich w Krakowie

The Potocki Palace at number twenty Rynek Główny is distinguished by its grand, classicist façade, which maintains an elegant, uniform look rare among the older buildings surrounding the square. This residence, originating from the sixteenth century, stands as a complex of two joined Gothic townhouses that were transformed into a magnate’s palace. Throughout its long history, the building changed hands among powerful families—including the Zbaraskis, Wodzickis, and Jabłonowskis—each leaving a mark on its structural development.
