Dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel and St. Stanislaus Bishop, the church overlooks the location where the latter was killed by order of Polish King Boleslaw II the Bold. St. Stanislaus died in 1079. The Romanesque church built on this location was replaced with a Gothic one in 1472. That building in turn received a Baroque facelift. Some of the country's most distinguished National personalities are interred under the church. This includes diplomats, poets, freedom fighters, historians, artists, painters, sculptors, composers, Theatre directors and even a Nobel Prize recipient (Czeslaw Milosz). The church rises over the Vistula River some distance south of Wavel Hill. For a long while, members of the cult of Stanislaw considered this church an important place of pilgrimage. In fact, some still do.
