Located at the foot of the Wawel Castle. It was built in the first half of the XIV century, and then rebuilt in the late XVI century. Gothic, single-nave, with a presbytery covered with a ribbed cross. Outside on the wall of the presbytery is a painting of the Virgin and Child (XVII century). Inside - the main late Renaissance altar, an element of the sarcophagus of St. Jacek (1581-83), transferred here from his chapel in the Dominican Church. Portals in the presbytery and nave, honorary benches and decorations of the walls of the presbytery appeared in 1629; they are also elements of the sarcophagus of St. Jaceka. On the rainbow beam it is worth paying attention to the late Gothic Crucifixion of 1520 and the sculpture of Our Lady and St. John 1470
