Italian House, Renaissance tenement house in Main Market Square, Kraków, Poland

The Italian House presents a four-story building with a Mannerist portal and a Latin inscription 'Te cum habita' at its main entrance point.

Sebastian Montelupi established Poland's first postal service from this building in 1569, connecting Kraków with Venice through regular courier deliveries every 15 days.

The building served as a meeting place for the Italian Brotherhood, an association of Italian residents in Kraków during the late 17th century.

Located at Rynek Główny 7, the structure now contains a hostel on two floors and remains open for architectural tours throughout the year.

The original ceiling in the hallway displays the heraldic symbols of the Montelupi family, while the courtyard features a transported 16th-century portal.
