St. Mary's Basilica (Kościół Mariacki) is one of the most important churches in Krakow, located on the stunning Main Market Square (Rynek Główny), the largest medieval square in Europe.

Built in the 14th century in Gothic style, the basilica is famous for its magnificent wooden altarpiece carved by Veit Stoss, considered the largest Gothic altar in the world. The interiors are covered in polychrome frescoes, stained glass windows and vaulted ceilings decorated in blue and gold.

Every hour, from the taller tower, a trumpeter plays the Hejnał Mariacki, a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages. The melody breaks off abruptly in memory of a trumpeter struck by an arrow during the Mongol invasion of 1241.
