Church of Saints Peter and Paul
Grodzka 52a, Kraków
The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is the first Baroque building in Kraków and one of the finest in Poland — a white-faced Italian import on a street of Gothic and Renaissance neighbours that announced, when it was completed in 1635, that the Counter-Reformation had arrived and it had budget.
Corpus Christi Basilica
Bożego Ciała 26, Kraków
Corpus Christi is the main parish church of Kazimierz — the Christian half, which most visitors don't realise was a distinct area from the Jewish quarter.
Old Synagogue (Stara Synagoga)
Szeroka 24, Kraków
The Old Synagogue on Szeroka Street is the oldest surviving synagogue in Poland — a fortress-like building dating to the 15th century that was the spiritual and administrative centre of Kraków's Jewish community for 500 years.
Remuh Synagogue & Cemetery
Szeroka 40, Kraków
The Remuh Synagogue is the smallest active synagogue in Kraków and one of only two in Kazimierz still holding regular services — a quiet, resilient fact given that this neighbourhood was once home to one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe.
St Florian's Church
Warszawska 1B, Kraków
St Florian's Church sits just outside the Old Town walls at the start of the Royal Road — the ceremonial route along which kings processed from the city gate to Wawel Castle for their coronation.
St Mary's Basilica
Plac Mariacki 5, Kraków
St Mary's Basilica dominates the Main Square with two mismatched towers — one 81 metres tall, the other 69 — which, according to legend, were built by two brothers in competition.
Wawel Cathedral
Wawel 3, Kraków
Wawel Cathedral is where Poland crowns its kings and buries its heroes — and the list of people interred here reads like a complete history of the nation.
