Kazimierz is one of the most beautiful and currently the most popular districts of Krakow. It is part of the Old Town and is considered an important center of Jewish culture both in Poland and in the world. Tourists appreciate the atmospheric character of this part of the city.
This district is filled with numerous monuments, art studios and galleries. The charming cobbled streets and cozy cafes invite you to stay in this place for longer.
The name Kazimierz comes from the name of one of the kings of Poland, Casimir III the Great - the founder of the city, and now a district of Krakow. The city was founded in the fourteenth century on a wet river island to fulfill the protective function of the south of the capital, which was then Krakow. This is evidenced by the two powerful churches of the Corpus Christi basilica and the church of St. ST. Catherine and Małgorzata, as well as fragments of the city fortifications of Kazimierz.
However, this district is most often equated with the Jewish diaspora that inhabited this area for many centuries.
A visit to the district, which has been a place of multicultural meetings for centuries, will leave you with amazing memories.
Wandering the streets of Kazimierz, we will visit the Church on Skałka, a unique sacred building, in the vaults of which you can see the Tombs of Distinguished Poles - one of the most important national pantheons of the country. We will show, probably the oldest in Poland, the Old Synagogue from 1407, as well as one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in Europe - Kirkut Remu, founded in 1535 and the New Cemetery, which is still an active Jewish cemetery today.
Visitors' attention will also be drawn to the Great Mikveh, which is a ritual bathhouse, and the Kazimierz Town Hall, standing at Plac Wolnica and the Ethnographic Museum located in it ... We will go along Św. Wawrzyniec, which in the 19th century was the most industrialized in Krakow. This attraction will certainly interest many a technology enthusiast ...
