10 Sacred & Religious Sites in Stare Miasto That You Shouldn't Miss

April 19, 2022 Lashaunda Abraham

Krakow is one of the most culturally and politically significant cities in Poland. It was the central site of the Nazi General Government during WWII, and there’s still a residual feeling of solemnity here that’s especially apparent during visits to the Plaszow Concentration Camp and the Oskar Schindler Factory. Both the Historic City Centre and the Jewish District are brimming with cafés, shops, and pubs, and the 10-acre Main Market Square is a medieval feast for the senses.

Wawel Cathedral

National shrine known for its superb religious art including the giant bell of Zygmunt of 1520, one of the world's largest, and the burial place of many Polish kings and their families, national heroes and numerous bishops.

Reviewed By MarkH706 - Paphos, Cyprus

Great and very intresting trip to Wawel and the Royal Cathedral on Wawel Hill Visiting the Royal Tombs to see the last resting place of Polish monarchs and national heroes also visiting the Pope John Paul II Cathedral Museum. Worth the visit but the ticket office on our visit was hectic.

Church of St. Peter and St. Paul

Reviewed By fozjon - Patna, India

this may well be the most beautiful church building in Krakow. Not only is the front of the building beautiful, but it has statues of the 12 apostles out front of it. There's much to see.
