The Capuchins arrived in Krakow in 1695. The founder of the church was Wojciech Dembinski. The first service in the new church took place on August 15.1700. The church is modeled on Tuscan Baroque and resembles traditional Italian Capuchin temples. On the main altar is the image of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, painted in 1701 by Peter Dandini of Florence and given to the Cracow Capuchins by order of the Duke of Tuscany Cosmas III Medici. To the left of the main altar is a cannonball that hit the presbytery during the Confederate battle with the Russian army on August 15.→
