Tomicki Chapel, Renaissance chapel in Old Town, Kraków, Poland.

Tomicki Chapel is a Renaissance chapel in Kraków's Castle District with a square floor plan and dome. Its interior shows carefully crafted walls and a grand tomb made from carved stone.

Bartolommeo Berrecci, a Florentine architect, designed the chapel around 1520 as part of his work at Wawel Castle. His work shaped Renaissance architecture in Poland for generations.

The chapel shows how Italian artists brought their style to Poland and influenced local craftsmen. You can see the blend of Mediterranean forms and Polish building techniques in every detail.

The chapel is located within Wawel Castle and is only accessible through guided tours of the cathedral. Visitors should note that tours are timed and it is wise to check opening hours in advance.

The tomb inside belonged to Bishop Piotr Tomicki and is decorated with gold accents and detailed stone carvings. The details show the craftsmanship of Italian sculptors working during this period.
