Saints Peter and Paul Church Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul was built between 1597 and 1619. It is a Roman Catholic church in Baroque architectural style. The church building is very grand and worth seeing. The front of the church is made of dolomite, and above the main entrance is the emblem of the Church of Jesus. The interior of the church consists of a spacious nave and two aisles, most of which are decorated with stucco, and the top is by Giovanni Battista Falconi from Milan, which contains scenes of saints. On the square in front of the church stands several sculptures of apostles. The original statues were built in 1722 by Kacper Bażanka and designed by DawidHeel. These 18th century sculptures did not resist the corrosion of acid rain. Now we see Kazimierz Jęczmyk in the square. A modern replica made of the same material.

The beautifully-sculpted church is on the way to Wawel Castle in the south of the old town. The sky is blue and white, the church is shining with golden light, and the sculptures in front of the door are lifelike. A musical old man playing the violin at the church door, the beautiful melody led tourists to stop, intoxicated, can not bear to leave.
The surrounding scenery is very good, the time is too tight to see the appearance and hurried to other attractions around!
From the old town to the castle, via St Peter's Church St Paul's, he is next to St Andrew's Church. The white exterior walls and statues in front of the door are very special to experience his long history.
The rain began to rain after getting off the bus that day, and the tour guide took us to this church to avoid the rain. A group of students happened to be rehearsing a song and listening to us that we didn't want to leave.
