Kleparz is a neighbourhood in Kraków, Poland, situated directly to the north of the Old Town, marking the beginning of the Royal Road.

The settlement grew very fast in number and size, so it soon was known as the Alta civitas and had about one thousand inhabitants as well as 2,380 horses.

Houses of timber were built around the market square and its citizens were mainly craftsmen, including smiths and tailors.

In the 19th century Kleparz was rebuilt with new residential mansions in neoclassicist and art nouveau styles.

The most interesting sights in Kleparz are the Kleparz Market Square with colorful stalls and the Jan Matejko Square located almost side by side and flanked by the Academy of Fine Arts and the St. Florian Church with the Grunwald Monument at its centre.
