Best churches to visit in Poland
Poland’s church heritage centres on Kraków, with Wawel Cathedral, the coronation church of Polish kings, and St Mary’s Basilica on the main square, where a trumpet call sounds every hour from the tower. The Churches of Peace in Jawor and Świdnica are timber-framed World Heritage Sites, and Jasna Góra in Częstochowa is the country’s greatest pilgrimage shrine.
