Located near the University of Krakow, the low-cost housing along the Street of Pigeons houses students and charlatans alike. The line between science and magic was blurred in fifteenth century Krakow. Thus fortunetellers, necromancers, and self-proclaimed seers lived amongst the university folk who pursued more legitimate studies of the natural world, such as philosophy and alchemy.
