Krakus Mound or Kopiec Krakusa in Polish, also called the Krak Mound, is a tumulus located in the Podgórze district of Kraków, Poland; thought to be the resting place of Kraków's mythical founder, the legendary King Krakus.
[4] Excavations conducted in mid-1930s revealed that the mound consists of a solid wooden core covered with soil and turf.
Some artifacts dating from between the 8th and 10th centuries were found inside, but no human remains or bones were discovered.
[2] Similar to other ancient structures, such as Stonehenge, the Krakus Mound may have been constructed with astronomy in mind.
Until the mid-1830s, a folk festival was held annually on the first Tuesday after Easter on the slopes of the Krakus Mound.
