About Bazylika Prymasowska w Gnieźnie
The cathedral of Gniezno sits on Lech Hill and is linked to the memory of Saint Adalbert and the old Polish coronations. Its towers dominate the historic quarter in a town whose religious role helps to understand the country’s early centuries.
The bronze doors depict scenes related to the life of Saint Adalbert and are a highlight of the visit. The interior ensemble includes chapels and elements from different periods, while the elevated position allows you to recognise the relationship between the temple and the town’s streets.
Check which circuits include the doors and other sectors of interest, as well as worship times. Visitors arriving from Poznań should allow time to walk from the station to the hill.
