Ładny gotycki kościół św Idziego, koło Zamku na Wawelu, od strony ulicy Grodzkiej znajduje się na zewnątrz budynku wizerunek Madonny, obok wejścia na teren kościoła stoi z krzyż Katyński, wzniesiony w 1990 roku. Kościół jest niewielki ale ma swój urok, w środku ładne wnętrze.

Niewielki kościółek pod Wawelem, niestety poza nabożeństwami zamknięty

Jeden z najmniejszych kościołów w Krakowie, wielu turystów myśli, że to kaplica. Dobrze zachowany i schowany w cieniu Wawelu, od wieków stoi sobie niepozorny.
