Basilica of the Holy Cross, ul. Krakowskie Przedmieście 3, in the Baroque style. Most famous for Chopin's heart bricked up in a pillar, which was transported to Warsaw according to his will. It is bricked up in a pillar of the church.

Originally, there was a chapel dedicated to the Holy Cross in this place, mentioned in 1510.
The first church was built here in 1525, rebuilt in 1615. After the destruction caused by the Swedish Deluge, it was decided to build a new church. It was built between 1679 and 1696 in the Baroque style. Its designer was the royal court architect, Italian Józef Szymon Bellotti, and its founders were Abbot Kazimierz Jan Szczuka, later Bishop of Chełmno, and Primate Michał Stefan Radziejowski, who consecrated the church on October 14, 1696.
