In Krakow, there are many places associated with Pope John Paul II, because before his elevation to this highest spiritual rank, Karol Wojtyla spent most of his life there - about 40 years. Pope John Paul II left a significant mark on the modern era, therefore, in memory of him, a special route-excursion was developed for everyone who is interested in his life and seeks spiritual communication with this outstanding person. Almost all places associated with Karol Wojtyla are located in the Old Town of Krakow - these are the places where he studied, lived and worked (
Jagiellonian University, Bishops' Palace); organizations that collect things related to him (the Center of John Paul II in Łagiewniki, the museum of the Krakow diocese in houses 19 and 21 on Kanoniczna street) and places that are the sources of his faith and spiritual strength:
Mary's Church, St. Florian's Church, Pauline Monastery on the Rock,
St. Francis' Church and
Wawel Cathedral.
