This cathedral has several steeples....and several different designs.
The clock tower on the right seems to be the tallest and has a brick rectangular shape with a two-tiered metallic top. The center has an A-line shape. The tower on the right is the bell tower and a sign tells 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."

Two of the steeples on the side have dome shapes topped with crosses.
