In July 2021, the square at Plac Partyzantów in Janów Podlaski was officially opened after its revitalization. The event sparked a lot of controversy: some praised the well-kept space and the new fountain, describing it as "the most beautiful in the region," while others did not hide their indignation, calling the changed square the so-called "concrete."

The stunning fountain, which refers to the biggest tourist attraction in Janów Podlaski – the stud farms, is a novelty on the Janów square, attracting both residents and tourists who visit the town. The fountain depicts a galloping family of horses: a mare, a foal and a stallion, with water spurting from under their hooves. It looks particularly charming in the evening, when it is beautifully illuminated. The models of the sculptures were made by local artist Arkadiusz Markiewicz.

In 1428, the Grand Duke of Lithuania Vytautas founded and endowed a church in the village of Porchów, which the bishop of Lutsk, Jan Łosowicz, named Janów after himself. Initially, this church was a parish church, then the parish was moved to the Church of St. John and only in 1602, after giving this church to the Dominicans, the parish was moved to the Church of the Holy Trinity. In 1685, Stanisław Witwicki, bishop of Lutsk and Brzeg, founded a seminary at this church. The current brick parish church, construction was started in 1714 by the bishop of Lutsk Aleksander Wyhowski, and completed by bishop Stefan Bogusław Rupniewski and consecrated on November 30, 1735. In 1741, it was raised to the dignity of a collegiate church and in 1818 to the dignity of a cathedral. With the dissolution of the diocese by the Russian government in 1867, it is only a parish church. On the hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the diocese, it was restored to the dignity of a cathedral, by the bull of Pius XI.

In the years 1818–1867 and 1918–1924 it served as the cathedral of the Janów (Podlasie) diocese. The interior of the church contains a sarcophagus and a monument to Adam Naruszewicz (1733–1796), a bishop, poet and historian who spent his last years here. The basilica has a two-tower façade, a three-nave interior and is the site of the Janów Collegiate Chapter. In 2018, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments gave it the title of Minor Basilica. On the front of the basilica there is a commemorative plaque in honor of the January 1863 insurgents, residents of Janów Podlaski.
