This church was once built by the Jesuits according to all the rules of today's marketing. Location - close to the Royal Castle, ease of view - the building seems to be "sunk" into the street so that you can see it fully and admire its beauty, advertising agents - statues of 12 apostles, which are placed on the fence of the church, as if calling to enter its door . The church building is slightly pushed into the street. This was done so that the church would not be lost in the background of the surrounding houses, so that people could more easily see it on the narrow streets of the medieval city and not bump their heads, as in other churches located close to the road.

A very beautiful place. This is where the soul rests. All icons are framed like paintings. Beautiful painted iconostasis Lots of sunlight. The facade is very reminiscent of Roman temples - the stucco is elegant and there is not much of it. The place is quiet. There are not many people here on weekdays. You can come and relax from the hustle and bustle.

This is the first church in Poland, which was built in the Baroque style (17th century). Next to the temple there are figures of 12 apostles. Locals joke that the church turned out to be so small that even the apostles had to be placed not in the church, but on the street. The church was built by the Order of the Jesuits. After the dissolution of the order in the 18th century, the church changed hands and even managed to be an Orthodox church. It is currently owned by the Jagiellonian University.
