The sign is in Polish and English. The English portion informs us:
"Silver Bells' Tower
Silver Bells Tower is the oldest preserved bell tower of the Wawel Cathedral. Its lower stone part (12 m high) was built in the 12th century, rectangular brick part of the tower with the room for the bells added in 14th century. In 1530, another octagonal storey was added and the tower received a decorative late gothic spire which in 1769 was replaced by a pyramid roof."
