Camaldolese Priory, Kraków

The Camaldolese monks were invited to settle in Bieleany by Grand Court Marshal Mikołaj Wolski in 1603.

On 19 August 2002, the church was visited by Pope John Paul II during his pilgrimage to Poland.

[2] The richly-decorated interior of the church is the result of works by another prominent Italian architect of the period Giovanni Battista Falconi.

Inside the Royal Chapel there are paintings by Tommaso Dolabella the court painter of the Polish king Sigismund III Vasa.

The central part of the presbytery features a painting by a Polish painter and graphic artist in the Romantic style Michał Stachowicz depicting the Assumption of Mary.
