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.
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 Saints Peter and Paul Church is the first Baroque architecture building in Krakow. It was built from 1597 to 1619 for the Jesuits, hence the obvious inspiration from the Gesù church in Rome.
The Church of St Andrew is a Roman Catholic temple built in the 11th century. It is one of the oldest churches in the city.
