Częstochowa Black Madonna Half-Day Trip
Half-Day Trip Details
We'll meet at the designated time at Plaza de Matejko and head to Częstochowa, a city 140 km (87 miles) northwest in the Silesia Province.
Częstochowa is an industrial town in southern Poland renowned for its magnificent abbey, the Jasna Góra Monastery, established by the Pauline monks in 1382. Jasna Góra has become a world-known site of pilgrimage because it houses a magnificent painting of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child.
The monastery became famous in the 17th century when three hundred men managed to protect it from a siege of 12000 Swedish armed men. This was considered the first miracle of the Black Madonna.
Nowadays, the relic of the Virgin Mary is the most revered relic in Poland and one of its national symbols.
After 6.5 hours, we'll conclude our day trip by returning to the meeting point in Kraków.
