Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ

Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ (Jesuit Fathers)
Poland, Krakow
One of the largest religious buildings in Krakow, with a tower 68 meters high. Built at the beginning of the 20th century. At the main entrance is a statue of Christ. The interiors of the basilica are made in the style of early Christianity. They differ in colorful design - mosaics, stucco decoration. A 30-meter mosaic frieze was erected above the altar, depicting the worship of Christ by the saints, the people, the royal couple Vladislav II Jagallo and St. Hedwig. This temple is considered an example of a combination of modernism and neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic motifs.

There are many temples on the quiet street of Copernicus. But this, in my opinion, is the first. No wonder it was given the status of a basilica, and a monument to its creator was erected under the temple wall. By the way, this is the only such example in Krakow. The Roman Catholic Church belongs to the Jesuit monastery, which has existed in this place since 1868. But the church itself was built in 1909-1912 according to the project of architect Franciszek Monczynski. The outstanding building has a facade and red brick walls decorated with gray stone.
