A Christian church in the Jewish quarter Jul 16, 2008

I don't know if the Pauline church (also called Ciala church) is the only Catholic church in Kazimierz, but it sure stands out between the other architecture.

The inside of the building isn't very spectacular, though there are a number of important paintings and in the crypt some of Krakow's most famous inhabitants were buried.

From the outside Pauline church looks quite nice, and so is the little square surrounding it. At the side you'll find the cloister of the Pauline order, but of course tourists can't visit here.

I wouldn't place this one at the top of your to do list, but if you pass by it is certainly worth to have a look inside.

I was only really only familiar with the big walled city and castle portion of Krakow. Now I'll have to add the old churches to my reasons for needing to travel to Krakow someday. ~Jeff

Indeed. Now, you got to know, Krakow is full of them. They said there are about 120 in the city, of which a good 30 in the old town alone! :)

It is always interesting to see churches that have survived under communist rule, especially in Eastern Europe.

Pauline church . We pay a short visit, have a drink on a terrace and after a while go back to the old town. At night we have dinner at Babci Malini , a restaurant close to the theater, serving Polish food. We have a great time… The Old Town and picturesque Kazimierz quarter
