Basilica of St. John the Baptist
Arch-Cathedral Basilica of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist (XIV century, rebuilt in the XVII, XIX, XX centuries) The oldest church in Warsaw. Its creation dates back to the turn of the thirteenth-fourteenth centuries. From the beginning of its existence, it was a parish church. Since 1406, it has been a collegiate church, elevated to the rank of a cathedral in 1797, an archcathedral in 1818, and a small basilica in 1960. In the past, important historical events took place there. Here, in 1339, before the Papal Tribunal, a successfully concluded trial with the Teutonic Order took place over the Holmnensk land and Pomerania, which they had captured.→

The main church in Warsaw
The cathedral was built in the 13th century. In the 17th century it was used for coronations and was connected to the Royal Castle by a special corridor. He suffered greatly during the suppression of the Warsaw Uprising (1944). Pay attention to the Borichko Chapel - the miraculous Holy Cross of the 16th century is kept here. Nowadays, wedding ceremonies are especially often held in the Cathedral. It is believed that such a marriage is blessed by John the Baptist himself. Free admission. Address: Kanonia 6.→
