Correction

In the post Stare Miasto, I indicated that the statute on the tall pillar is of King Jan Sobieski.  It is actually Sgisimund III.  I correct the post below.  It's there because Sigisimund III is the one who moved the capital of Poland from Krakow to Warsaw in  1596.  One note about the column, it was originally solid marble, but when the communists rebuilt it after the war, they made the column out of concrete, and simply covered it with marble.
