In conversation with Justyna Nowicka, in the latest episode of Radio Krak\u00f3w\u2019s podcast \u201cAn Alternative Map of Central Europe\u201d, the author of the book \u201eWyobra\u017cone stolice. Miasta monarchii habsburskiej jako centra narod\u00f3w 1815-1918&#8243; shows that the nations of our region first \u2018created\u2019 their own capitals using a DIY approach, and only later came to have states of their own. Through architecture, culture, national institutions and the consistent work of the collective imagination, they crafted the urban backdrops for their future sovereignty. Politics and treaties merely added borders to the map later on, a map that had already been formed in the minds of the inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Production: Radio Krak\u00f3w\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_4d385f4f3e9c8c75b4ebc19d5bc62234\">\n    <div id=\"Album\">\n        \n        \n        <div class=\"our_series\">\n            <div class=\"container\">\n\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-xxl-5 col-xl-5 col-lg-5 col-md-5 col-sm-12 photo_report_img\">\n                        <h3 class=\"no_desk photo_headinng\">Publications<\/h3>\n\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mck.krakow.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Zrzut-ekranu-2026-06-16-113241.png\" class=\"img_shadow img_all\" alt=\"\">\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-xxl-7 col-xl-7 col-lg-7 col-md-7 col-sm-12 photo_report\">\n\n                        <h3 class=\"no_mob\">Publications<\/h3>\n\n                        <div class=\"photo_text\">\n                            Wyobra\u017cone stolice.
