This square is part of the original market square of the city of Kazimierz, created in 1335 when the city was founded. It used to be as large as the Krakow market square and served similar functions - trade took place here, and there was also a town hall, where the highest administrative and judicial authorities of the city of Kazimierz had their seat. Other public buildings were also located here: stalls, scales or a shearing room. The present name of Plac Wolnica derives from the Latin Forum liberum (the right to free trade in meat outside stalls) and has existed in this form since the end of the 18th century, when Kazimierz was granted the privilege of free trade.

The basilica was erected in stages beginning in 1340 until about the mid-15th century. It was intended as a monastery church, which explains the large plot of land on which it stands, and the presence of a monastic cemetery next to it. In 1404 King Władysław II Jagiełło gave it to the Canons Regular of the Lateran, a congregation which he had brought in from Kłodzko
