Basilica of the Body of God

Bazylika Bożego Ciala, Corpus Christi Basilica
Poland, Krakow
The Basilica of the Body of God is a Catholic church of the Gothic architectural style. The construction of today's temple began in 1385 on the site of a wooden church and was completed in 1405. In 1405, Vladislav II Jagello invited monks from the monastic order of the Lateran Canons to serve in this church. For them, a monastery was later built near the church. Representatives of this monastic order serve in the basilica to this day.

The Basilica of the Corpus Christi is called one of the most beautiful religious buildings in the city. Relatively small in size, it has gathered all the best that was in architecture at the time of its construction. The first temple was built of wood on the initiative of Casimir III the Great in 1340. Construction of the stone building began in 1385 and was completed in 1405. The temple was repeatedly supplemented with new elements, but in general retained the appearance of the XV century. In January 2005, it was granted the status of a small basilica by a decree of Pope John Paul II.
