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. Outside the church is surrounded by a beautiful wrought-iron fence, decorated with figures of 12 apostles, who were installed in 1715-1721.
Above the main portal is the coat of arms of the Jesuits, and even higher - the coat of arms of King Sigismund III. Figures in niches on the facade are figures of saints.
