Wawel Heads

The Wawel castle is beautiful and has a lot of majestic chambers, but one of them deserves special attention. Some call it the Throne Room, and others the Room of Deputies, but no matter what it is called, this room is full of wonders; there are heads engraved in the ceiling. The heads are carved so precisely that they seem alive.
