Google Maps reviews of this place
Reviews posted by visitors on Google Maps.
La Catedral de San Juan Bautista (Archikatedra św. Jana) es el principal templo católico de Varsovia y una de las iglesias más antiguas de la ciudad. De estilo gótico, fue destruida durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y reconstruida fielmente en la posguerra. Alberga las tumbas de reyes polacos, nobles y figuras históricas, así como la del último duque de Mazovia. Fachada gótica en ladrillo rojo, reconstruida tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial en la que destaca su frontón escalonado, es uno de los símbolos más reconocibles del casco antiguo de Varsovia.
Templo del siglo XVI, que fue reconstruido después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la entrada es gratuita y está en una de las principales calles del centro histórico de Varsovia
Situada en el casco histórico de la ciudad, la Catedral de Varsovia (de tamaño medio, sencilla y coqueta) pasa casi inadvertida en la calle que va desde el Castillo Real a la Plaza del Mercado. Llama la atención su fachada principal, construida con ladrillos en tono rojizo, y su interior, en tonos blancos y rojos y decorada con banderas. Merece la pena hacer un alto en el camino y entrar a visitarla.
