Gothic Church erected by Kazimierz the Great in 1340. The greatest Italian artist of the Renaissance, Bartholomaeo Berrecci, is buried here. The interior is baroque with a marvelous, high baroque altar and maybe the most beautiful baroque stalls in Central Europe.

Built in 1860 - 1862. Reform synagogue that is open to the public. Since it's an operational synagogue, men and women should dress somewhat conservatively and have their shoulders covered. During the Nazi occupation, the synagogue was used as a horse stable, but it was eventually rededicated to its religious mission. The interior is beautiful. It has a monumental example of Aron Kodesh made from Carrara marble and 43 stained glass windows. There are a series of photos and information boards outlining the fate of the Jews in Krakow during WWII.

Also called Hospital or Poor Synagogue as these were the people it mostly served. After the war it was a warehouse and shoe factory. Today, it is one of the venues for religious ceremonies and cultural festivals, including the Jewish Culture Festival.
Old Jewish cemetery of Kraków. Located next to Remuh Synagogue was established in 1535. It closed when the new cemetery at Miodowa was opened in year 1800. The most notable person buried at Remuh Cemetery is Rabbi Moses Isserles, others include rabbis of the Jewish communities in Vienna, in Prague and in Kraków and heads of Kraków Talmudic Academy. During Nazi occupation the place was destroyed and tombstones reused as paving stones (in Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp). After the war restoration of the cemetery was attempted, but not many tombstones could be found and today only small fraction of the monuments stands again.
