Lonely Planet review

The sombre 14th-century Church of St Barbara, bordering Plac Mariacki on the east, was the cemetery chapel and served the Polish faithful (the Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady was for Germans) during the Middle Ages. Note the skull and crossbones on the north exterior; just inside the entrance is an open chapel featuring stone sculptures of Christ and three of the Apostles, also attributed to the Stoss school.
