Church of St. Salvatore in Kraków, Roman Catholic church building in Zwierzyniec district, Kraków, Poland.
The Church of St. Salvatore is a religious building in the Zwierzyniec district with Romanesque foundations and baroque reshaping. The interior features stone altar platforms and decorated chancel walls that reflect its different building phases.
The building was first documented in 1148 and gained its current form mainly through baroque modifications in the 16th and 17th centuries. These changes fundamentally altered its original appearance.
The high altar holds a 1605 painting showing a poor musician bowing before the crucified Christ, connected to a local legend still told in the community. This image reflects how ordinary people were understood to have a direct spiritual relationship with the sacred.
The building is located on Bronisława Street 9 and is freely accessible to visitors with wheelchair-friendly entrances. Staff on site can help if you have questions about accessing the interior.
A small wooden gravedigger's cottage from the 19th century still stands in the church garden corner near the former parish cemetery. This modest building is a reminder of the practical side of church life in earlier generations.
