Like so many places in this enchanting city of Krakow, the Mariacki church towers are swathed in legend. Their uneven height is due to the jealousy held between the two brothers commissioned to build them; the designer of the smaller tower, envious of his brother's success, murdered him in a fit of rage and then, wracked with remorse, threw himself from the higher tower. In another version of the legend, the taller tower was completed by the murderer as an act of penitence. No one can quite agree on the story, but the knife that struck the fatal blow can still be seen, hanging beside one of the central arches in the Sukiennice. #discoverpolandwiththetwistedredladybug #churchesinkrakow #kosciol #discovercracow #magicalkrakow #everydaylifeinpoland #lifeinkrakow #krakowdaily #igerspoland #igerskrakow #Mariacki https://www.instagram.com/p/BoAK7cyhlAY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tcop50hd8h5f

Kraków’s first church inspired by the sacred architecture of Roman baroque; with a magnificent stone façade and masterly designed dome, provides a key element in the panorama of the city. In the second half of the 16th century, after the Council of Trent, Jesuits arrived in Kraków, bringing the ideas of the Counter-Reformation and a new vision of baroque church architecture. Initially, they made use of the modest church of St Barbara, soon, however the idea of erecting a more imposing church took hold. To carry out the Counter-Reformation mission of the order, the church was to be raised in the centre of the city and dominate its urban tissue. After successful fundraising – including a donation by King Sigismund III Vasa (Zygmunt III Waza), a committed figure when it came to religious matters, Poland’s first baroque church was built in 1597–1619. Its design was modelled on the Jesuit mother church Il Gesù in Rome, considered the paradigm of early baroque. #discoverpolandwiththetwistedredladybug #churchesinkrakow #kosciol #architecture #stpeteranspaulchurch #piotripaweł #everydaylifeinpoland 🐞 #lifeinkrakow #krakowdaily #igerspoland #igerskrakow #streetart #photography (at Saints Peter and Paul Church, Kraków) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnTb93snZGS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19cq9jetrsycn
