Lonely Planet review for Franciscan Church of the Holy Cross
A few steps southeast of the Rynek is the large 15th-century Franciscan Church of the Holy Cross, today filled with neo-Gothic furnishings. The showpiece here is the Oświęcim Family Chapel (Kaplica Oświęcimów), just to the left (north) as you enter the church. Built in 1647 by Italian architect Vincenti Petroni, and embellished with magnificent stucco work by another Italian master, Jan Falconi, the chapel is considered to be one of the best early Baroque chapels in Poland.
