Later, King Wladyslaw II Jagiello modernized Kazimierz Dolny, creating a modern town, with a market square and streets. It enjoyed its greatest prosperity in the 16th and the first half of the 17th century, due to the trade in grain conducted along the Vistula. The parish church of Sts. Bartholomew and John the Baptist is a church with a single nave and elongated chancel. Its interior and exterior proportions are entirely Gothic, but the details are Renaissance. The merging of Gothic and Renaissance elements results in a special national style. The interior decoration is attributed to a workshop in Lublin under Italian direction.
