St. Florian's Church, Minor basilica in Matejko Square, Kraków, Poland
St. Florian's Church stands at the northern end of Matejko Square, marking the beginning of the Royal Road to Wawel Cathedral.
The church construction started in 1185 and underwent major renovations after fires, transforming from a Romanesque structure into its current Baroque form.
The church maintains its status as a University Collegiate since the 16th century, where rectors traditionally welcomed new Polish monarchs.
The church opens daily for visitors and contains important relics of St. Florian, drawing religious pilgrims throughout the year.
From 1949 to 1951, Father Karol Wojtyła, later Pope John Paul II, served as a vicar at this church before his papal appointment.
