Corpus Christi Basilica — Attraction in Krakow

This basilica is in the Kazimierz district of Krakow (old Jewish Quarter) and is stunning example of the mixture of Baroque and Gothic architectural styles. Dating back to the 14th century, this church is beautiful inside. We really enjoyed touring this church and examining the intricate stone carvings, stunning stained-glass windows, and ornate furnishings that adorn the interior. Another fascinating aspect of this church is the magnificent high altar, which features a beautiful depiction of the Last Supper. Also, there are several chapels within, each with its own unique character and charm. We saw from the outside the tower, but we could not find anyone inside that could tell us if it was open to the public. Whether you are there to visit, reflect, pray or to have an inspiring cultural experience, this hidden gem is sure to leave a lasting impression. The church is free to visit but it is always best to confirm the operating hours and there are no public restrooms inside the church. Finally, do not forget to take a walk outside to enjoy a beautiful, oversized garden/green area in the rear...

As a Catholic traveler, I attended Sunday Mass here. This is not only an architectural marvel of Church Art, it is a local parish. From the moment you step in, you appreciate the beautiful handcrafted Polish statues, carvings and altars that are breathtaking and a testament to Polish artistry and devotion to their faith. There was a recent interior renovation. The organ is also outstanding. They open the rope to the front choir section for the parishioners. Both visitors and parishioners sit in the back pew sections. If you are visiting-- They prefer no photos, so please be discreet, quiet, and respectful if you can't help yourself. This art is meant to teach the gospels, saints and inspire faith. The Mass is, of course, in the Polish language. But no matter what country you are in, the order of the service is universal. This will be my church during our month in Poland as our apartment is in Kasimierz. Thank you to the priest and...
