The Church of St. Francis of Assisi (Polish: Kościół św. Franciszka z Asyżu) and Friary of the Conventual Friars Minor located in the Old Town district of Kraków, Poland, are a Roman Catholic religious complex on the west side of All Saints Square at Franciszkańska 2, across the street from the Bishop's Palace in Krakow – which served as the residence of Pope John Paul II during his stays in the city. The Church dates back to the 13th century. The saint Maximilian Kolbe was a friar there in 1919, and led his first service at this church upon Poland's return to sovereignty.
