The bugle call is one of the most remarked upon peculiarities of Krakow. Every hour on the hour, a bugle is played from the top of St. Mary's Church tower. This bugle call is transmitted by Polish Radio at midday, every day. In the past, the bugle player announced the opening and closing of the city gateways.
It is not known when the decision was made for the bugle to be sounded four times every hour towards the north, south, east and west. The bugle call returned in 1810 after a short break (and a break during the World War Two German occupation). krakow.pl |
