Description: The entrance arcade below the choir is decorated with a large cartouche with the coat of arms of Krakow. Its place of display just above the entrance to the nave is certainly not accidental. The symbol of the capital city appears repeatedly in the parish church, which serves not only to identify the founders and representatives of the authorities, but also to integrate the urban community and is an expression of pride in belonging to it.
