Jewish Community Centre

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.

Gothic Church erected by Kazimierz the Great in 1363 for the Augustinian Order. There is a beautiful baroque altar and the Renaissance grave of bishop Spytek Jordan inside the church.

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.
