St. Andrew's Church, Romanesque church building in Kraków Old Town, Poland

The stone church features two octagonal towers with doubled arcade windows and thick walls designed with narrow openings for defensive purposes.

Built between 1079 and 1098, the church provided shelter to local residents during the Mongol invasion of 1241 thanks to its fortified structure.

The Religious Order of Poor Clares established their convent next to the church in 1320 and maintain their presence to this day.

Located at 54 Grodzka Street, the church opens exclusively during religious services and can be reached by trams numbered 1, 6, 8, 13, 18, and 69.

The interior contains an eighteenth-century boat-shaped pulpit, stucco decorations by Baldassare Fontana, and numerous baroque and rococo furnishings.
