Architectural research, excavations and lately archaeological and architectural, carried out on the Wawel hill, gave a considerable amount of information concerning the changes of land development occurring within the city and then the Kraków castle. Accumulation of discoveries and observations allows one to try and discuss wider phenomena, including the transition from stylistic and workshop formation into another. The transformation of pre-Romanesque Wawel into the Romanesque one constitutes the first stage of this process. The quantitative composition itself of the pre-Romanesque and Romanesque buildings discovered on Wawel hill convinces us that we have to do with a metropolis center of exceptional meaning, extending far beyond the place, which was ascribed to Kraków by scarce historical sources. The formal differentiation of the oldest objects proves both the wide needs in the scope of functions, and the vigour of investment action undertaken on the Wawel hill by the first historical rulers. The process of reshaping architecture in the places of intense settlement and accumulation of various functions is obviously a natural phenomenon. What is interesting, on the other hand, are the reasons of the changes of specific buildings in a purely technical aspect, and also in a wider historical context. The present sketch present the author's view of the above questions, resulting from, first of all, observation of the terrain, carried out during many years of archaeological and architectural researches.
