Review:
Second only to Wawel Cathedral, St. Mary’s Basilica is the most significant religious building in Krakow. Having been graced by the hands of skilled craftsmen over the centuries, St. Mary’s Basilica is composed of a distinct blend of Gothic and Baroque styles. Its high ceilings, intricate sculptures and reliefs, along with the colorful stained glass windows is an awe-inspiring sight. The overall air of solemnity is a refreshing change of pace from the busyness of the streets without. One of its notable features is the Altar of the Holy Cross, an impressive work of black and pink marble displaying an intricately carved stone cross depicting the suffering of Jesus Christ.
