Tradition connects this small church with Prince Władysław Herman and his wife Judyta. A couple living in the 11th century had trouble conceiving a descendant. Only when the gifts were sent to the French Saint-Gilles, where the relics of Saint Giles, summoned in cases of infertility, rested, the duchess turned out to be with hope. Grateful parents funded the church of St. Giles as a vote of birth for the son Bolesław in 1086 (later called Krzywousty). The church is brick, has a very simple, one - nave form. Inside the church there are stalls made of many-colored marbles, Pińczów limestone, sandstone and alabaster. In the rainbow there is a late-Gothic crucifix on the ceiling of the Tęczyński coat of arms from the 16th century. At the exit from the church there is a bronze plaque from 1987 commemorating the oath of Kraków scouts, made in the pilgrimage year to the homeland of John Paul II. http://www.krakow.travel/500-krakow-kosciol-sw-idziego

The history of the Czeczotka Palace dates back to the 16th century. For forty years Erazm Czeczotka was councilor, burgrave and mayor of Cracow. In 1564, by joining two tenement houses, he built a palace on the corner of St. Anny and Wiślna. The author of the design and construction was Gabriel Słoński, the famous stonemason and student of Antoni from Fiesole, a colleague of Bartłomiej Berrecci. In the palace there was, among others, a magnificent bathhouse connected to a large hall, in which a reception for selected guests was run. The Czeczotka Palace, which still has the facade of the annexed part, possesses unusual character added by the view from the windows overlooking the main square, Sukiennice and the Town Hall Tower. http://palacczeczotka.pl
