The Province of Silesia (German: Provinz Schlesien; Polish: Prowincja Śląska; Silesian: Prowincyjŏ Ślōnskŏ) was a province of the German Kingdom of Prussia, existing from 1815 to 1919, when it was divided into the Upper and Lower Silesia provinces, and briefly again from 1938 to 1941. As a Prussian province, Silesia became part of the German Empire during the Prussian-led unification of Germany in 1871. The provincial capital was Breslau (present-day Wrocław, Poland).

Our Lady of Czestochowa / The Black Madonna

Reviewed By royann2017 - Perth, Australia

The whole experience with the unveiling of the black Madonna was very unique and wonderful. Its s prayerful place of God, with a feeling of peace and grandeur. The miracles worked and the relics make it a beautiful experience for all Catholics and believers. But its also a great place to visit and to hear how the town and monastery were spared the destruction unleashed by the Germans during World War 2. Other cities like Warsaw were not so fortunate. But this place is truly blessed and miraculous.

Jasna Gora

The holiest place in Poland and one of the world’s most important destinations for pilgrims. Every year several million pilgrims pray before the miraculous picture of Our Lady of Czestochowa.

Reviewed By anacW3256HT - Moscow, Russia

Czestochowa is a lively city in the south of Poland with a rich religious history. The city is well-known for its stunning Pauline Monastery of Jasna Gora. Every year, millions of pilgrims from all over the world come here to pay homage to the shrine and enjoy the peace that this holy place gives. The greatest treasure of the imposing Jasna Gora complex is the ancient miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary (Black Madonna) which origin is a mystery. Thanks to this beautiful painting, Jasna Gora became one of the largest Marian sanctuaries in Poland since the 15th century. There, it has been worshiped in desperate moments, especially during large-scale disasters such as epidemics. A characteristic feature of the famous icon are the scars on the face of the Our Lady of Czestochowa. Jasna Gora's Lady bears signs of wounds and pain. Pope Saint John Paul II visited over five times. Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis also have visited Jasna Gora. All in all, this huge monastic complex is well worth a visit. It houses an incredible collection of treasures. The work of art is impressive. Each building features fascinating exhibits. Highly recommended.

Historic Silver Mine

Reviewed By zinhap - Walnut Creek, United States

My husband and I visited this UNESCO site on our trip to Poland during our stay in Tarnowskie Gory. This Lead-Silver-Zinc Mine and its Underground Water Management System was inscribed to the World Heritage List in 2017. We didn't know what to expect as we've never visited a mine before. The tours are in groups, ours was a group of at least 20, maybe more. The tour lasted 90 min. I believe. Our tour guide spoke English and in addition we were given plenty of literature in English to fully understand what we were seeing. We all had to wear long raincoats and hard hats. The Tour started in the museum where we learned the history of the mine and the area. Then we took the elevator to go underground to visit the corridors from the 18th and 19th centuries. The tour covered over a mile of the corridors. We crossed part of the route in boats as it was through a flooded corridor. We toured adits, shafts, galleries and other features of the water management system. The images we experienced from the extensive labyrinth of corridors was priceless. This was such a unique visit we thoroughly enjoyed... we highly recommend!
