Church or rock?

[edit]

"Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Stanislaus the Bishop and Martyr Basilica, also known as Skałka, which means "a small rock" in Polish, is a small outcrop..." doesn't make sense: a basilica cannot be a rock formation! It may be better to recast the lede e.g.:

Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Stanislaus the Bishop and Martyr Basilica, also known as Skałka, is a Pauline monastery in Kraków. It is known for being the place where the Bishop of Kraków, Saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów, was slain by order of Polish king Bolesław II the Bold in 1079. This action resulted in the king's exile and the eventual canonization of the slain bishop. The nickname for the church, Skałka, means "a small rock" in Polish and is derived from the name of the small rock outcrop on which the basilica is situated.
