From this church begins the Royal Way, which in the Middle Ages Polish monarchs went to the Wawel Cathedral - the place of coronation. Honorary guests and festive ceremonies were held in the same way, from where the king's body was taken to the funeral. St. Florian is considered one of the patrons of Krakow. According to legend, in 1184, during the transfer of the relics of St. Florian to Poland, the oxen carrying the relics stopped at this place and did not move until the decision was made to build a church here.→
