One shot. One tower. FPV through the heart of my city.

St. Mary's Basilica in the background, with the iconic bugle call (hejnał) echoing from its tower. This medieval melody, played every hour, dates back to the 13th century and was originally a warning signal against Tatar invasions. According to legend, it ends abruptly to commemorate the trumpeter who was shot in the throat mid-call by an enemy arrow

Town Hall Tower in Kraków, Poland (Polish: Wieża ratuszowa w Krakowie) is one of the main focal points of the Main Market Square in the Old Town district of Kraków.

The Tower is the only remaining part of the old Kraków Town Hall demolished in 1820 as part of the city plan to open up the Main Square. Its cellars once housed a city prison with a Medieval torture chamber.

In 1967, after a complex conservation which underlined its gothic ancestry, the tower was put under the management of the Historical Museum of Kraków.
