In June 1924, a scholar and Romanian politician, Professor Nicolae Iorga, visited several Polish cities. Some fragmentary materials relating to the organisation of this visit to Krakow were preserved in the archives of the Jagiellonian University. This task was assigned to the university authorities by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In order to provide a reasonably detailed description of this visit to Krakow, the preserved source material as well as press reports from popular newspapers published in this city at the time were analysed. Above all, the analysis was of a qualitative nature. This led to elaboration of a study which illustrates the circumstances of Nicolae Iorga's visit to Krakow and the course of his stay. It also serves as a starting point for similar considerations with regard to other Polish cities - Warsaw, Vilnius, Poznan and Lviv - which were also visited by Nicolae Iorga at the time.
