Comments: San Jacinto (Saint Hyacinth) is a thirteen-century Polish Catholic saint. Without needing to tell you, we're certain you can recognize the Renaissance style of this church. Indeed, it was designed, established, and constructed in the 16th century. Originally, it was a Dominican convent; nowadays it is a parish church dedicated to the same saint.
