The Roman Catholic church of Divine Mercy dates from the 16th century. It was originally a wooden church. After being destroyed during the 17th century during the Swedish Deluge, the church was erected in stone. Its current appearance is the result of extensive renovation work carried out between 1905 and 1910 under the direction of the architect Jan Sas-Zubrzycki.
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.
