8 Sacred & Religious Sites in Kazimierz That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

The Remuh Synagogue is a unique complex of Jewish architecture and religious art dating back to the mid-16th century, functioning as a centre of the religious life of Jews in today's Kraków. Currently it is the only prayer house regularly open for Jews in Kraków, which is why its interior retains a unique atmosphere and is functionally and formally coherent, with properties that cannot be found in any other synagogue in Kraków. Do not forget to visit Old cemetery which is just near. It is very interesting place.
