Water Dams of the Krakow Fortress: Potential of a Vanishing Heritage

Cultural heritage conservation is a constant process of preserving the valuable historical legacy and transferring it to future generations. The ability to adapt the matter under conservation to changing needs and environmental conditions is an essential element of this process. In this context, cli...
