Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Gothic Revival Jesuit church in Kraków, Poland.
The Sacred Heart Basilica extends 52 meters in length and 18 meters in width, with a tower reaching 68 meters into the Kraków skyline.
The construction of the basilica began in 1909 under architect Franciszek Mączyński and continued until 1921, marking the post-World War I period in Poland.
The basilica displays Polish religious art through sculptures by Xawery Dunikowski, altar works by Karol Hukan, and extensive murals by Jan Bukowski.
The church accommodates 4,000 people and offers free entry to visitors interested in examining its architectural features and religious artifacts.
A 30-meter mosaic frieze above the high altar presents Polish saints and historical figures, including Ladislaus Jagiełło, paying homage to Christ.
