About Bishop's Palace, Kraków
The Bishop's Palace in Kraków (Polish: Pałac Biskupi w Krakowie) is the seat of Kraków metropolitan Curia, Poland, and the traditional residence of Kraków bishops since the late 14th century. It is the second largest palace in the city after Wawel, the former seat of the Polish monarchs. It is part of a monastery complex of the Franciscan religious order.
Bishop's Palace is best known for being the residence of Pope John Paul II during his stays in the city. He used to give his blessings and talk to his followers from a window above the main entrance at night. As of March 2022, the archbishop is Marek Jedraszewski.
