The Corpus Christi Church In The Kazimierz In Krakow Poland Editorial Image

Kazimierz – the district south of the Old Town between the Wisła River and ul. Dietla where a tributary of the Wisła once flowed was the centre of Jewish life in Krakow for over 500 years, before it was systematically destroyed during World War II. In the communist era it became one of Kraków’s dodgiest districts while gradually falling into disrepair. Rediscovered in the 1990s, thanks to the fall of the regime and worldwide exposure through the lens of Steven Spielberg, Kazimierz has rebounded and is today Krakow’s most exciting district – a bustling, bohemian neighbourhood packed with historical sites, atmospheric cafes and art galleries.
