Karol Wojtyla, honored here with a statue, and more widely known as Pope JOHN PAUL II, was born in 1920 in Wadowice, Poland, and after the death of his predecessor in the "Year of the Three Popes" in 1978 – to the surprise of almost everyone – was elected the new supreme pontiff at the head of the Roman Catholic Church. As a young man, he experienced dictatorships under the Nazi regime of injustice in German-occupied Poland and later under communist rule. Consequently, during the so-called 'Cold War' era, his support for the aspirations of freedom, especially in Eastern European countries, and his role in the fall of the so-called 'Iron Curtain', which separated Western European states from the Eastern Bloc, were immense and passionate. Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) died in 2005 in the Vatican after a long illness.

This is a historic sanctuary from the 15th century. It is famous for the cult of St. Anne, whose figure and relics are located in the basilica. High stairs lead to the church - this is the highest point of the Silesian Upland, which can be seen from afar from everywhere here. For pilgrims, it is a must to visit this place.

A very beautiful church and a well-known pilgrimage site in Poland. It's worth a visit.

There's a fairly long climb up to St. Anne's Mountain, and you can descend through nearby forests toward Opole (or Kamień Śląski, to be precise).
