Step into Corpus Christi Basilica, a Kazimierz gem hiding gold-heavy Baroque beneath a Gothic shell. Look for the monumental altar and the pulpit built in the shape of a boat.

📖

Full description

The Corpus Christi Basilica in Kazimierz pairs a Gothic exterior with a Polish Baroque interior that visitors remember for its quantity of gold decoration, its monumental altar and a pulpit shaped like a boat. Built in the 15th century, it is a quieter highlight of Kazimierz that many reviewers stumbled into by chance.

Entry is free and a visit takes around 20 minutes, so it slots easily into a wander through the neighbourhood's streets.

Reviews

Truly impressive. Gothic exterior and Polish Baroque interior. What stood out for me was the monumental altar and the pulpit shaped like a boat, as well as the amount of gold decorations.
