Lion House
ul. Grodzka 32
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight.
In the jungle, the quiet jungle, the lion sleeps tonight.
(“The Lion Sleeps Tonight”, Solomon Linda)
The oldest preserved emblem in Kraków depicts a lioness feeding her cubs. The Lion House was once home to a workshop of stonemasons who came all the way from Prague.
