Church of St. Francis of Assisi, Minor basilica in Market Square, Kraków, Poland
The Franciscan church features red brick walls with stone elements, arranged in a Greek cross plan with multiple side chapels and altars.
Prince Henry the Pious and Blessed Salomea of Poland founded this religious complex in 1269, establishing the first Franciscan presence in Kraków.
The interior walls display Stanisław Wyspiański's Art Nouveau stained glass windows and polychrome paintings depicting natural elements and Franciscan figures.
The basilica opens daily for religious services and tourist visits, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the main entrance on Franciszkańska Street.
Underground crypts discovered in 2015 beneath the Passion Chapel contained preserved coffins, adding to the archaeological record of medieval Kraków.
