    Abstract

    The Cracow Calced Carmelite Church on the Piasek has not yet become the subject of thorough research. Its reconstruction in the years 1637-1645 was carried out by the workshop of the royal architect Giovanni Trevano (d. 1642), who collaborated with Sebastiano Sala (d. 1651) and Hieronim Carbonari (d. 1669). The preserved elements of architectural decoration from the first half of the 17th century show close parallels with the stone details of the Wawel Royal Castle. Their origins can be found among the relevant realizations of Roman architecture of the 1580s and such as Martino Longhi the Younger and Giacomo della Porta. The reconstruction of the church after the Second Northern War in the 1660s and 1670s was carried out by Pińczów stonemasons and bricklayers from Cracow.
