Dominican Church and Convent of St. James in Sandomierz

Dominican Church and Convent of St. James in Sandomierz, Romanesque church and monastery in Sandomierz, Poland

The brick building features Roman ceramic decorations adorning its gabled walls, with stained glass windows dating from 1910 to 1918.

Founded in 1238, this religious complex represents the second oldest Dominican monastery in Poland, following the establishment in Cracow.

The Dominican Church became a shrine dedicated to Blessed Sadok and 48 Dominican martyrs who perished during the Mongol invasion of 1260.

The church stands as the starting point of the Lesser Polish Way, a pilgrimage route connecting to Santiago de Compostela through Eastern Europe.

Polish Dominican friars at this location wear red belts in their habits to commemorate the martyrdom of their predecessors during the Mongol invasion.
