Jasna Góra Basilica, Minor basilica in Częstochowa, Poland.

The brick basilica extends 46 meters in length, 21 meters in width, and reaches 29 meters in height within the Jasna Góra Monastery complex.

The Jasna Góra Monastery, established in 1382 by Pauline monks from Hungary, has withstood numerous conflicts, including a notable Swedish siege in the 17th century.

The basilica houses the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, a revered Byzantine-style painting that draws millions of pilgrims annually from across the world.

Visitors can access guided tours of the basilica daily, with specific schedules for viewing the Black Madonna and participating in religious ceremonies.

The Black Madonna painting bears distinctive marks on its surface, which resulted from an attempted robbery in 1430 when the original was damaged.
