The church of St. Adalbert (Church of St. Wojciech) was originally built in the 11th century in the Romanesque style, but rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 17th and 18th centuries. An exhibition on the history of the Kraków's Market Square is in the basement of the church.
The Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi is a Roman Catholic complex in Krakow's Old Town district. It belongs to the Order of Friars Minor Conventual. Pope John Paul II resided here from 1963 to 1978. The window right above the entrance is known as a “papal window” due to the fact that John Paul II used to show up there and speak when spontaneous crowds gathered in front of it.
