Sanctuaire Jean-Paul II de Cracovie, Religious sanctuary in Łagiewniki, Kraków, Poland

The John Paul II Center features a modern religious complex with a main sanctuary, museum, intercultural institute, conference facilities and pilgrimage accommodations.

The sanctuary stands on the former grounds of the Solvay chemical plant where Karol Wojtyła worked as a laborer during World War II.

The museum section displays personal artifacts from John Paul II's papacy, including the blood-stained cassock from the 1981 assassination attempt.

The sanctuary includes two church levels, with daily masses held in the lower Relics Church and Sunday services conducted in the upper church.

The center houses the original marble slab from John Paul II's first tomb in Vatican City, alongside the cross from his final Way of the Cross in 2005.
