Church of St. Andrew

Why go

Pause here for one of the Old Town’s clearest surviving Romanesque exteriors. Built in the late 11th century, the church combines thick defensive masonry and small openings with Baroque tower domes and interior decoration, making later alterations easy to compare with the medieval core.

What to look for

• Small defensive openings survive low in the fortress-like façade.
• Twin octagonal towers carry Baroque domes added in the 17th century.
• The interior shifts from austere Romanesque structure to Baroque decoration.

Useful to know

• View the exterior while walking Grodzka Street between the Main Market Square and Wawel.
• Do not rely on interior access for the visit; no current sightseeing schedule is established.
• Compare the church with nearby Wawel architecture to see the change from Romanesque to later styles.
