I studied art history at the Catholic University here, and the frescoes inside Lublin Castle's chapel are still the thing I most want people to see properly, since a video call lets me hold the camera steady on details that are hard to photograph on a quick visit. I explain who commissioned them and why a Catholic king chose Byzantine-style painting for his private chapel. In the evenings I also guide sessions around Chatka Zaka, since the student side of Lublin is easy to miss if you only see the old town. Moving between these two parts of the city works better on video than I expected.
