The Old Synagogue is the oldest preserved synagogue in Poland and one of the most valuable monuments of Jewish religious architecture in Europe.
The Remuh Synagogue is the second oldest Jewish prayer house in Kraków. The synagogue and the adjacent cemetery form a unique and priceless complex of Jewish architecture and sacred art.
The Kupa Synagogue is the last synagogue built during the existence of the Jewish town. It was also called Szpitalna because of its close proximity to the former Jewish hospital and the Poor, because the poorest members of the Jewish community prayed there.
The New Square is a part of Krakow that is part of the Old Town District I. In the years 1859–1951 it was a separate III cadastral district of the city. In 1994, Nowy Świat was recognized as a historical monument.
The Tempel Synagogue is one of the four active synagogues in Krakow, but services are held sporadically, it is also a thriving center of Jewish culture, which hosts numerous concerts and meetings, especially during the Jewish Culture Festival.
The Corpus Christi Church is distinguished by its size, importance and architecture. Its beauty is best shown in the interior of the temple, where the gothic stone walls harmonize with the gold of the baroque.
The Father Bernatek Footbridge is a unique place in Podgórze, built in 2010 on the site of the former Podgórze bridge, it connects Kazimierz with Podgórze
The Ghetto Heroes Square is a square in the Podgórze district of Krakow. In the years 1941–1943 it was within the ghetto. It was a place of concentration of the Jewish population before transport to concentration camps. Currently, there is an unusual monument in this place - several dozen cast-iron chairs standing individually in the square. They symbolize the items left over from the liquidation of the ghetto.
