The paper discusses the process of restoration of the outer courtyard on Wawel Hill, which was part of a project co-funded by the European Union under the “Infrastructure and Environment” programme. The location and specificity of the restoration works generated many technological and organisational problems during their implementation (most of which could not have been predicted earlier), which in turn determined the different approaches and concepts available for solving them. The article is therefore a kind of case study, which demonstrates the specific implementation al problems associated with this project, as well as identifying the mistakes to be avoided, on one hand, as well as to point to concepts which are worth repeating.
