Thought I'd post this as it is Day of the Book. I know this lady is probably reading a magazine, it will have to do as I don't have a book picture handy. I liked her sitting there though.

There's a famous film called The Reader, but it's equally exciting to watch a person who reads. Shot in Antwerp, 2019.
a basílica de Santa Maria de Cracòvia (en polonès: Kościół Mariacki) és una església d'estil gòtic, adjacent a la plaça del mercat principal, a l'antiga capital de Polònia.
Començada el 1355 pels veïns de Cracòvia per rivalitzar amb la catedral de Wawel, la construcció feta de maons va durar tot el segle xiv, amb tres naus i dues torres quadrades que van ser acabades en els anys 1400 i 1406. La més alta (80 m), acaba amb un casc gòtic punxegut i va ser adornada per una corona daurada el 1666. Des de la part superior d'aquesta torre, cada hora un trompetista toca l'Hejnał mariacki, una melodia tradicional polonesa, transmesa al migdia per la ràdio a tot el país. Aquesta tradició es fa per commemorar que, al segle xiii, un trompetista fou abatut per un tret a la gola mentre feia sonar l'alarma abans d'una invasió mongola. Per això, se la coneix com la torre Hejnał. La torre més baixa (69 m), a la qual es va afegir un elm renaixentista al segle xvi, serveix de campanar a l'església.
A la façana principal, hi ha un pòrtic barroc pentagonal dissenyat per Francesco Placidi, construït al segle xviii.
L'interior allotja dues peces de renom esculpides per Veit Stoss: el Retaule de Santa Maria, un altar de fusta políptic de 12 metres de longitud i 11 metres d'alçada que fou tallat entre 1477 i 1489, i un gran crucifix de gres.
S'hi pot veure una placa commemorativa en honor de Joan Pau II, que va ser arquebisbe de la ciutat abans de ser papa.
Saint Mary's Basilica (Polish: Kościół Mariacki) is a Brick Gothic church adjacent to the Main Market Square in Kraków, Poland. Built in the 14th century, its foundations date back to the early 13th century and serve as one of the best examples of Polish Gothic architecture. Standing 80 m (262 ft) tall, it is particularly famous for its wooden altarpiece carved by Veit Stoss (Wit Stwosz). Some of its monumental polychrome murals were designed by Poland's leading history painter, Jan Matejko (1898–1891). In 1978 it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site alongside the Historic Centre of Kraków.
On every hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, a trumpet signal—called the Hejnał mariacki—is played from the top of the taller of Saint Mary's two towers. The plaintive tune breaks off in mid-stream, to commemorate a famous 13th century trumpeter who was shot in the throat while sounding the alarm before a Mongol attack on the city. The noon-time hejnał is heard across Poland and abroad broadcast live by the Polish national Radio 1 Station.[1] [2]
Saint Mary's Basilica also served as an architectural model for many of the churches that were built by the Polish diaspora abroad, particularly those like Saint Michael's and Saint John Cantius in Chicago, designed in the Polish Cathedral style.
The church is familiar to many English-speaking readers from the 1929 book The Trumpeter of Krakow by Eric P. Kelly.
