St. Martin's Church, Medieval church in Old Town, Warsaw, Poland

The church stands on Piwna Street with a facade featuring curved lines characteristic of Rococo architecture and a modern interior design from post-war reconstruction.

Duke Ziemowit III of Mazovia and his wife Eufemia established the church in 1353, alongside an Augustinian monastery and the Hospital of the Holy Spirit.

The church contains modern Stations of the Cross created by artist Alma Szydlewska and a partially burned crucifix that survived World War II destruction.

Visitors can enter the church between 15:00 and 20:00 daily, with additional access during religious services at Piwna Street 9-11 in Warsaw.

The building served as a gathering point for opposition members during the 1970s and 1980s, providing shelter after police confrontations with protesters.
