Cathedral of St. John the Baptist
Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Greek Catholic cathedral in Przemyśl, Poland.
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist stands with its brick structure, featuring distinctive architectural elements from the late 17th century construction period.
Initially built before 1700 as a Jesuit church dedicated to St. Ignatius, the cathedral underwent transformation after 1773 when the Austrian authorities took control of Przemyśl.
The cathedral represents the intersection of Eastern and Western Christian traditions, serving as the mother church of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Peremyshl-Warsaw.
Visitors can access the cathedral through Ulica Katedralna, where regular services take place following the Byzantine Rite of the Greek Catholic Church.
The transfer of the cathedral to the Greek Catholic community in 1991 led to protests and a temporary blockade by local Polish nationalist groups.
