St. Mary's Basilica at the end of Florianska Street

St. Mary's Basilica is a Roman Catholic basilica that stands on the northern edge of the Main Square in Kraków, Poland. The oldest part of the church dates from 1290 and was built on the site of a pre-Romanesque church. Inside, there's a magnificent golden altar and the ornate, wood-panelled, late-Gothic wooden stalls. It has been the center of the scene for centuries, and its 17th-century spires and turrets frame Kraków's majestic Main Market Square. The church’s history is deeply connected to Poland, with Polish kings and Kraków nobles being buried here. The basilica’s signature bell tower holds the heirloom of the city – the legendary ‘mariam bell’ which rings hourly. There are also interesting art treasures on display such as the intricate Tryptich of Veit Stoss, which is located in an aisle of the basilica. It's a must-visit sight for both a curious tourist and an eager photographer.
