crypts of the Church of St. Stanislaw
Image by Anosmia
Known alternately as the Pauline Church and the Church on the Rock, and situated on a rocky hillock called Skałka, this is Poland’s second holiest sanctuary. Krakow bishop Stanislav was put to death here in 1079; legend has it that his body was miraculously reassembled, which made a fitting symbol of the restoration of Poland’s unity after years of fragmentation. A martyr’s cult began immediately after his death, worshipping him as someone who exposed the excesses of the king who had him executed. In 1088 his relics were moved to Wawel Cathedral where they remain today. In 1253 he was canonized and became the chief patron saint of Poland.
Throughout the Middle Ages his cult was pivotal in forming the country’s tradition of holding those in power to accountability. All of Poland’s king-elects had to come here on their coronation to atone for the sins of their predecessors. The present church is the fourth on the site; nevertheless, visitors can still see three dark spots of St. Stanislav’s blood on the church wall. Since 1472 the church has belonged to the Pauline Fathers, who have a monastery here.

Amon Göth’s villa

Also known as the Red House, it was from its balcony that the sadist commandant shot prisoners of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp with his rifle for fun. On March 13, 1943, Göth personally oversaw the liquidation of the Kraków ghetto, forcing its Jewish inhabitants deemed capable of work into the camp. Those who were declared unfit for work were killed.
