Great Mikvah, Krakow, Jewish ritual bath in Kazimierz district, Krakow, Poland.

The Great Mikvah features forty stone steps leading to a purification pool, supplied by natural spring water in the basement level.

Built in 1567, this ritual bath served the Jewish community until World War II, when it suffered substantial damage during German occupation.

The Great Mikvah remains a central element of Jewish traditions, representing the purification rituals essential to religious observance in Krakow.

Located at Szeroka Street 6, the building now contains Klezmer Hois restaurant and hosts regular exhibitions about Jewish heritage.

The original stone walls and four-pillar structure in the basement preserve the architectural elements from the 16th-century construction.
