Divine Mercy Sanctuary, Minor basilica in Łagiewniki, Kraków, Poland
The Divine Mercy Sanctuary features a modern two-story elliptical structure with a 77-meter observation tower and contains multiple chapels across two levels.
The site originated as a neo-Gothic monastery complex in 1862, with the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy establishing their presence through buildings constructed from 1889 to 1891.
The basilica houses the Divine Mercy painting created by Adolph Hyla in 1944 and the tomb of Saint Faustina Kowalska beneath the main altar.
The basilica provides space for 5,000 visitors and includes separate chapels for perpetual adoration, Greek Catholic worship, and Saint Faustina devotion.
Three popes have visited this sanctuary: John Paul II in 1997, Benedict XVI in 2006, and Francis in 2016 during World Youth Day celebrations.
