Saint Catherine of Alexandria church in Kraków, Gothic church in Kazimierz district, Poland

The three-nave basilica without towers features a late Gothic stellar vault in the presbytery and rich architectural details throughout its interior.

King Casimir III the Great commissioned the construction of this church in 1342, bringing Augustinian monks from Prague to establish their presence in Kazimierz.

The church holds regular ceremonies dedicated to Saint Rita on the 22nd of each month, when worshippers bring red roses as offerings.

Religious services are held daily at 7:00, 8:00, and 18:00, with additional masses on Sundays at 9:00, 11:00, 12:15, and 18:00.

The church houses the oldest miraculous image of Mary in Poland, a Gothic-Renaissance fresco located in its monastery corridors.
