Cracovia Sacra
The 14th-century cloisters of the Dominican monastery at Stolarska Street in Kraków.
The beginnings of the monastery reach back to the year 1222, when Bishop Iwo Odrowaz gave the former parish church to monks invited from Bologna. A relic from this period is a Romanesque refectory.
The construction of a new early Gothic church and monastery was probably begun after the Tatar raid of 1241. Originally based on a hall scheme, it was extended and rebuilt as a three-aisled basilica in the second half of 14th century and the 15th century.
The great prestige enjoyed by the order of St Dominic made the church of the Holy Trinity into one of the grandest in Krakow. Both the church itself, and the monastery cloisters filled with countless number of tombs, and the set of burial chapels of the 16th and 17th centuries was second only to the Wawel Cathedral necropolis.

Sacred Architecture of Kraków: Bazylika Świętej Trójcy
The Bazylika Świętej Trójcy (Basilica of the Holy Trinity) is located at the intersection of Ulica Dominikańska and Ul. Stolarska, a stone’s throw from the intersection with Ul. Grodzka, where Dominikańska becomes Francziszkańska. It is served by the Polish Province of the Order of Preachers, and it has been their home in Kraków since 1221. (That’s monumental. Not just because the Dominicans have been there for so long, but also because if you switch up that chiasmus, it’s one of Rush’s greatest albums.)
