Góra Świętej Anny, Summit and pilgrimage site in Upper Silesia, Poland
The 406-meter-high volcanic cone marks the easternmost point of the Silesian volcanic belt, featuring basalt formations and natural terraces.
The hill transformed from a pagan shrine to a Christian site in 1100 with a wooden chapel, later becoming a significant Franciscan monastery in 1516.
The basilica holds a statue of St. Anne above the altar and receives thousands of Catholic pilgrims, particularly during the July 26 celebrations.
Visitors can reach the summit via the A4 expressway, with parking facilities available near the basilica entrance and monastery complex.
The stone amphitheater at the base, constructed between 1934-1936, remains one of the largest outdoor theaters in Europe with 50,000 seats.
