the town: the fortified Bénédictine nuns complex (1615) in the Sandomierskie suburb and
another foundation for the Jesuits behind the Krakowskie suburb, by the votive Virgin Mary
Church ‘in the fields’ (1629), generously salaried by her daughter, Anna Alojza
Chodkiewiczowa, from 1636 the new owner of Jarosław, who continued her mother’s work
equally ambitiously.
Both Jesuit complexes: ‘in town’ and ‘in the fields’ madę up two pôles of the baroque
macro-spacial composition. They determined the ceremoniał space of the 17lh century Jarosław,
stressed by the solemn ‘forum’ with a column and a holy sculpture in front of the Krakowska
Gâte. It was used as the site of great religious ceremonies that from the middle of the 17lh
century dominated over the life of Jarosław.
