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.
9. Radiostacja Gliwice

It is a symbol of Gliwice. it's located far from the centre, in the north, but you can reach it by bus. It was built in the 30's, and is made entirely of wood. With height of 111,1 m it is the highest wooden construction in Europe. The terrain around it is nicely kept and there's a small museum. The tower is illuminated. It used to look nicer when it was covered in special paint, but not anymore. The radiostation is reknown for the Gliwice (Gleiwitz) provocation. Before ww2 the city belonged to Germany, but was just across the border and had a Polish minority. Hitler needed an excuse to invade Poland in 1939, so he made some provocations, staging a Polish attack, the most reknown of which is the provocation in Gliwice. Germans staged a Polish uprising and attack on the radiostation, broadcasted a message and left a dead body of a local Polish activist, earlier killed. That's why it is claimed that world war 2 started in Gliwice. Sadly, in few decades the wood will grow too old and the radiostation will fall apart, so hurry up with the visit.
10. Historic Silver Mine

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!
