context_page_description: The architecture of Poland includes modern and historical monuments of architectural and historical importance.
  Several important works of Western architecture, such as the Wawel Hill, the Książ and Malbork castles, cityscapes of Toruń, Zamość, and Kraków are located in the country. Some of them are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Now Poland is developing modernist approaches in design with architects like Daniel Libeskind, Karol Żurawski, and Krzysztof Ingarden.
context_section_description: The Renaissance came to Poland as a court fashion thanks to King Sigismund, who became acquainted with this stylistics in Buda, at the court of his Hungarian uncle. Sigismund invited Italian craftsmen from Buda to Kraków, where they created the first Italian Renaissance piece in Poland, the Tomb of John I Albert in Wawel (between 1502 and 1506). However, in religious architecture, which followed the Gothic tradition, Renaissance influences were minimal. Renaissance in Poland is therefore a civil style.
