It was constructed in 1186. The oldest part of the church is a stone presbytery, while a brick part of the construction dates from the 15th century. The interior is very beautifully decorated with wall paintings dating back to 1420, like 'The Agony in the Garden' in the chapel and a wonderful Gothic palm vault which is based on only one very high pillar.
Plac św. Ducha
The Gothic Holy Spirit Church is located on the square. Beautiful 19th century Słowacki Theatre is there as well.
Dom Jana Matejki
Atelier of the well known painter Matejko (1838-1893), run by National Museum.
Built in 1618, this church was constructed in early baroque style for the Carmelichans. Later, it was used by the nuns of the hospital of the Holy Ghost.
Branch of the National Museum, re-opened in Dec 2019 after refurbishment. Classical art, the highlight being the Mona Weasel, an authentic Leonardo da Vinci portrait, in Polish Dama z gronostajem. She's properly called "The Lady with an Ermine" but the beast she cradles is not zoologically accurate - it's an allusion to the nobility of her sugar daddy the Duke of Milan, who just happened to employ Leonardo. Unlike the better-known Mona Lisa, the painting doesn't suffer from over-familiarity, over-merchandising and overcrowding. The museum houses works by other painters of world renown such as Rembrandt and Brueghel which are able to be enjoyed at your leisure unlike the paintings in the famous and over-loved museums of western Europe. This museum is much bigger than it appears from the outside and is one of the highlights of Krakow.
is a small repertory theatre
