Dzwon Maryja Bogurodzica, Bronze bell at Basilica of Our Lady of Licheń, Poland.

The Maryja Bogurodzica bell measures 4.4 meters in height, features a diameter of 3.12 meters, and weighs 19 tons including its mounting system.

Cast in Lombardy, Italy, in 1999, the bell arrived at Licheń Stary in November as a votive offering for the Great Jubilee of 2000.

The bell surface displays six fields containing coats of arms from different periods of Polish history, including the Jagiellonian dynasty and Pope John Paul II.

The bell rings daily before noon, with special tolls on Sundays at 11:30 to call worshippers for Mass at the Basilica.

The bell's handles are shaped like eagles, while floral garlands decorate both its upper and lower sections, incorporating national symbolism into its design.
