Less well-known Old Town

Think of Warsaw's Old Town, and you'll think of the Rynek Starego Miasta (Old Town Market), the Barbakan, the Plac Zamkowy facing the Royal Castle. But there's more to the Old Town than that. This evening I was on ul. Jezuicka to pick up Eddie from the Teatr Staromiejski where he went with his class to see The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) in Polish.

A good opportunity to take some photos of the less well-known parts of the Old Town. Above: looking from ul. Jezuicka (standing outside the theatre) towards ul. Kanonia.

Above: looking along ul. Kanonia towards ul. Jezuicka; in the background St. John's Cathedral (katedra św. Jana).

Above: ul. Kanonia, the archway to the right opens up to ul. Dziekania. And there's Eddie. Sadly, he wasn't impressed by the play, or theatre in general. It was a cold night; I was glad for the warmth of the big furry hood of my new M-65 parka.
