Birth

Archaeological findings on Wawel Hill, suggest the existence of human activity related to stone processing that goes all the way back to the Old Stone Age or 50.000 BC. Further evidence show a new settlement during the 4th century until finally in the 8th century we encounter a new tribe of pagan Slavs in the area known as Vistulans.

The Vistulans who were named after the Vistula River that crosses modern day Poland from North to South inhabited the wider area of modern day Lesser Poland. Their tribal state included the area of modern day Krakow, specifically the area of Wawel Hill.
