Field Cathedral of the Polish Army, Baroque cathedral near Old Town in Warsaw, Poland.

The cathedral features a stone facade with two towers, classical architectural details, and a spacious interior with multiple side chapels and altars.

Built in 1660 as a Piarist church, the structure was designed by Italian architect Constantino Tencalla to serve students and teachers of Collegium Nobilium.

This cathedral serves as the primary religious center for Polish military ceremonies and holds regular services for army personnel and their families.

Located at Dluga Street 13/15 in Warsaw, the cathedral opens daily for visitors and offers guided tours in multiple languages by advance reservation.

During the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, the cathedral's western tower functioned as an observation post while its underground crypts served as a field hospital.
