Peter and Paul, Romanesque church of St. Andrew from 12th Century, Wawel Royal Castle.

Kazimierz (Jewish District). South from Wawel Hill lies the suburb of Kazimierz, originally a distinct town named in honour of King Kazimierz, who founded the settlement in 1335. Recent years have seen a marked revival of life and activity in Kazimierz. Long-neglected buildings are being renovated, many with financial assist- ance from the worldwide Jewish community, and the area has seen a marked inerease in visitors - in part thanks to Steven Spielbergs film Schindler's List, much of which was filmed in and around Kazimierz.
