This Is a unique district, where during many centuries has been a Christian-Jewish neighbourhood. In the mid 14th century, the king Kazimiro 3rd invited to the Jewish people to the city because he needed some money to do some reforms in the city. Until the 19th century, this area was the Jewish city and it was autonomous enclave governed by Jewish authorities. Late on the 19th century and early 20th, the Jews took almost all Kazimierz and they participate in the development of the section of builders and architects. At this time 64,000 jewish were living in Cracow. In march 1939, they were forced to abandon their homes and go to Zaboze, the Ghetto of Cracow, where they could not enter all of them.
