Skałka, formally the Church of St. Michael the Archangel and St. Stanislaus, is a Baroque Roman Catholic conventual church of the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit at 15 Skałeczna Street in Kazimierz, Kraków, Poland, built in 1751 and listed as an immovable heritage monument. Its crypt serves as a Panthéon for distinguished Poles and citizens of Kraków. Tradition holds that Saint Stanislaus, Bishop of Kraków, was slain on this site in 1079 on the orders of King Bolesław II the Bold, an act that led to the king's exile and the bishop's later canonization.
