Sandomierz Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Sandomierz, Poland.

The Cathedral Basilica features a double-pitched roof, pointed metal spire, and black marble altar within its Gothic architectural framework aligned by rows of pillars.

Founded by Bolesław III Wrymouth, the cathedral's construction began in 1361, replacing a Romanesque church mentioned in documents from the 12th century.

The cathedral's presbytery contains 15th-century Russo-Byzantine frescoes funded by Władysław Jagiełło, representing a rare fusion of Russian art in Gothic interiors.

The cathedral maintains regular opening hours and functions as the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sandomierz, offering religious services throughout the week.

The cathedral walls display a series of paintings depicting the months of the year with corresponding saints, integrated into the wooden wall paneling.
