The convent of the Jesuits was built between the 16th and 17th centuries. Following the dissolution of the order at the end of the 18th century, the complex served as a hospital, a high school and a dormitory. It was rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century.
The Collegiate Church of St. Florian is a historic religious building founded in the 12th century. The original structure burned down on several occasions. Today's building is the result of the works carried out after the Polish–Swedish wars. This church is the starting point of Krakow's Royal Road which passes through the city's main landmarks.
The Piarist Church is a sacred complex, along with the adjoining monastery of the Piarists. The late Rococo church was built in 1718-1761, and has clear references to the church of the Gesù, the mother church of the Jesuits.
The Church of St. Barbara is a Gothic church built in the fourteenth century that belonged to the Jesuit Convent (to which it is attached). It was part of the cemetery that surrounded the church of St. Mary, in what is now the Market Square in Krakow.
