Church of John the Baptist, Baroque church in Old Town, Warsaw, Poland
The Church of John the Baptist features red brick walls, a high nave, and Gothic vaults supported by massive stone pillars throughout its interior.
Originally constructed in the 14th century, the church underwent reconstruction in 1728 under architect Antonio Solari, who incorporated Baroque architectural elements.
The church holds royal ceremonies and contains a crypt where numerous Polish knights, nobles, and important religious figures rest in elaborately decorated tombs.
Visitors can access the church crypt from Monday to Saturday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with entry fees of 5 złoty per person.
External walls display fragments of a Borgward IV tank, marking the location of intense combat during the 1944 Warsaw Uprising.
