This small church was built on the location where, according to legend, St. Adalbert used to preach.
The first church was constructed before the Great Charter, and that why thee is no right angle at this corner of the Main Market Square. A Romanesque church was built upon the foundation of a former building, which was probably the oldest church in Cracow.
In the 18th century church was rebuilt in Baroque style, but crypts are still original, and there is a small museum which shows the medieval history of this city.
