About This Location
This final stop brings the tour back to Rynek Główny, right beside one of its smallest and oldest landmarks - the Church of St. Wojciech, also known in English as St. Adalbert’s Church. This little church looks modest, but it sits on very old ground. A church has stood here since the early days of Kraków, and over the centuries it was rebuilt and reshaped many times. One detail often noticed first is how the entrance feels lower than the surrounding square - the Market Square level rose over time, so the church now seems slightly “sunken,” like a memory preserved beneath the city’s daily surface. The location is not random. This was the center of trade and public life, and a small church here served merchants, travelers, and anyone passing through the square. The dedication to St. Wojciech, a major saint in Polish and Central European history, adds a quiet sense of importance to a building that is easy to overlook next to the Cloth Hall and the tall church towers nearby. As the route comes to a close here on the Main Market Square, this is a good moment to take in the contrast - a huge public space, and a tiny church that has survived almost every change around it.
