For some time, Krakow became the capital of Poland (1038-1569) and the seat of kings. Education is provided at numerous universities, including the Jagiellonian University — the oldest university in Europe founded in 1364 and the oldest technical university in Poland — AGH University of Krakow. Moreover, the attractiveness of this place is enhanced by festivals, performances, and concerts (on average over 2500 per year).
