This concert and cultural space hosts a wide range of events showcasing various international musical styles, with the aim of encouraging tolerance and intercultural dialogue. Run by the Rozstaje/Crossroads Association, in collaboration with the Kraków Festival Office (KBF), the venue is headquarters to the EtnoKraków/Roztaje Festival held each summer, but also hosts cyclical events throughout the year, including dance lessons, swing parties, vocal workshops and other opportunities to hear and participate in local and international musical traditions. Formerly found at ul. Św. Tomasza 31, this new location in the former monastery of the Discalced Carmelites on Kopernika Street also serves as a pub and gallery space, and has a 'by musicians, for musicians' ethos. Dating back to 1648, the former monastic buildings here served as part of the University Hospital complex from 1788 to 2024; now set free from that role, they seem destined to become an increasingly active hive of urban energy and innovation.
