Saints Peter and Paul Church, Baroque church in Old Town, Kraków, Poland
The church exhibits a two-story limestone facade with niches containing statues of Jesuit saints and the coat of arms of King Sigismund III.
The construction of this first Baroque building in Kraków started in 1597 under Giovanni de Rossis and was completed by Giovanni Trevano in 1619.
The church features twelve sandstone statues of apostles on the fence posts, which were created by David Heel in 1722 according to Kacper Bażanka's design.
Religious services take place on Sundays at 8:00, 9:30, 11:00, 12:30, and 18:00, while weekday masses are held at 7:00 and 18:00.
The church houses Poland's longest Foucault pendulum at 46.5 meters, with demonstrations every Thursday showing Earth's rotational movement.
