Church of the Transfiguration

Poland, Krakow
The late Baroque church was built at the beginning of the 18th century according to the design of the famous Polish architect Kasper Bazhanka. At the same time, a beautiful three-story facade appeared three decades after the completion of the construction of the temple, thanks to another famous architect of Italian origin, Francis Placidi. The facade of the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord is crowned with an openwork top with a signature, and it is preceded by a porch with a portal, over which a bust of the Polish teacher and writer, the head of Polish PR (monastic order) Father Stanislav Konarsky is installed. The interior walls are painted in polychromy by two Moravian artists, Franciszek Eckstein and Józef Piltz. Monastery buildings adjoin the church.

The late Baroque church with Rococo elements was designed by the famous Polish architect Casper Bazanka on the model of the Roman church of Il Gesu. The church was built in 1718-1728. The facade of the church - the work of Italian architect Francesco Placidi - was built in 1759-1761. The temple is built in the shape of a rectangle with one nave and side chapels. The walls of the interior are painted with polychrome by two Moravian artists, Franciszek Eckstein and Jó zef Piltz, who have worked in Cracow since 1733.
