The area of the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy is mostly devoid of trees, which favors the organizers of large religious celebrations, as huge crowds of believers can be gathered and everyone can see everything, even from a distance. When visiting the Sanctuary individually on a hot day, we avoid the hot surfaces paved with paving stones, looking for a shaded place to rest, and we will find one in this area. There are tall deciduous trees here, providing refreshment, and depending on the time of day, there is more shade in the corner next to the monuments - Merciful Jesus and Saint. Sister Faustina, or a little further, at the benches next to the field altar. You can wait here until the end of the ongoing service in the church or chapel, because visiting these facilities is prohibited during services. WW

In its upper part, there are four bells that have been inviting people to the celebrations at the Sanctuary since the beginning of its existence. The largest of them - weighing 1.5 tons - was named after St. Andrzej Bobola. The other three are: St. John the Apostle, St. Joseph and Tu es Petrus. Pilgrims arriving at the Sanctuary of St. John Paul II from the height of the tower can admire the panorama of Krakow and its surroundings, and with good visibility, you can even see the peaks of the Tatra Mountains. The tower with the cross mounted on the top is 68 meters high. Due to the fact that the entire St. John Paul II "Do not be afraid!" is located on a hill, its tower is the highest vantage point in the capital of Lesser Poland. The glazed observation deck was placed at a height of approx. 50 meters. On the southern wall of the tower, in the lower part of the facade, a figure of Our Lady of Fatima was placed in the composition of the Fatima Oak, emphasizing the Pope's devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, closely related to his faith in the miraculous rescue from the assassination attempt by Our Lady of Fatima.
