Divine Mercy church in Kraków, Baroque church in Nowy Świat district, Kraków, Poland.

The limestone structure designed by Jan Sas Zubrzycki features a main altar with the Divine Mercy painting created by Adolf Hyła in 1944.

The church gained prominence after Sister Faustina's remains were transferred there in 1966, leading to its designation as a shrine in 1968.

The sanctuary serves as a central location for Divine Mercy devotion, drawing millions of pilgrims from different countries to participate in religious ceremonies.

The basilica contains multiple chapels across two levels, including a Chapel of Perpetual Adoration and a Greek Catholic chapel dedicated to reconciliation.

Three popes have visited this sanctuary: John Paul II in 1997, Benedict XVI in 2006, and Francis in 2016, confirming its religious importance.
