Next to the monastery, there is the 17th-century Basilica Minor of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary with the chapel, where there is the painting of Our Lady of the Scapular, Our Lady of Krakow. The original temple was founded by Queen Jadwiga. According to the legend, the imprint of her foot on a stone slab is embedded in the walls of the church.
