Opis
St. John's Archcathedral is the oldest church in Warsaw, built in the 14th century as the parish church of the Old Town. In later centuries, it served as the coronation church for Masovian dukes and a venue for major state ceremonies.
Completely destroyed in 1944, it was rebuilt in the so-called Masovian Gothic style, referring to the 14th-century original. The crypts house the tombs of Primate Stefan Wyszyński, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, and President Gabriel Narutowicz, among others.
