Kalwaria Zebrzydowska

Modest town in southern Poland whose 17th-century Bernardine sanctuary and pilgrimage park — founded by Kraków voivode Mikołaj Zebrzydowski — is the only Calvary site in the world inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Mannerist architectural complex draws pilgrims and visitors year-round, and the town sits within easy reach of Kraków, often paired with a visit to nearby Wadowice, birthplace of Pope John Paul II.
