More information on GÅ‚owy Wawelskie (Wawel Heads)
While visiting Wawel, pay attention to the ceiling in the Hall of Envoys. This truly unique piece of architectural decor was created in the 16th century by Sebastian Tauerbach of Wrocaw and Jan Snycerz. Originally there were 194 of these heads, nowadays you can admire only 30. One of the heads has a gag in its mouth. Legend has it that the head spoke once during a trial held by King Sigismund Augustus, accusing him of passing an unfair judgement. The sculptors were then said to have placed a wooden band over the head to stop events of this kind recurring.
