Archikatedra sw. Jana (Cathedral of St. John)

Archikatedra sw. Jana (Cathedral of St. John) Review

Ulica Swietojanska, leading from the Rynek Starego Miasta to the Zamek Królewski, takes its name from this cathedral, which was built at the turn of the 14th century; coronations of the Polish kings took place here from the 16th to 18th centuries. The crypts contain the tombs of the last two princes of Mazovia, the archbishops of Warsaw, and such famous Poles as the 19th-century novelist Henryk Sienkiewicz, the Nobel Prize-winning author of Quo Vadis?
