Skałka, Baroque church in Kraków, Poland.
The Saint Michael and Saint Stanislaus Basilica stands on a limestone outcrop near the Vistula River, featuring white walls and twin bell towers.
King Bolesław II ordered the execution of Bishop Stanislaus at this location in 1079, leading to the bishop's recognition as a martyr and saint.
The church crypt contains tombs of numerous Polish intellectuals, including writers, composers, and painters who shaped the national heritage.
Visitors can access the church daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages at the entrance.
Three dark marks on the church wall are considered traces of Bishop Stanislaus's blood, preserved through centuries of reconstruction and renovation.
