Katowice: Tour to Czestochowa

If you are looking for a sacred place to visit, we would encourage you to participate in the tour to Czestochowa. It is the most important destination on the Catholic route in Poland. Every year millions of pilgrims from different parts of the world gather here to admire the Pauline Monastery of Jasna Gora where you can find the valuable and impressive painting of Black Madonna. This icon was saved during the Siege of Jasna Gora in 1655 during war with Sweden by a small group of monks with help of local volunteers who managed to fight off the much larger army of invaders. Join us for this tour and discover the secrets and treasures of the Monastery. Even if you are not a religious person, you will be impressed by the size of the complex and its interesting history.
