Kalwaria Zebrzydowska

Kalwaria Zebrzydowska is a historic town in Western Beskids in southern Poland, situated south west of Kraków and east of Wadowice. There is a beautiful monastery and crossway which is on the list of the UNESCO.

With a vision while viewing the neighbouring hills and valleys from the Castle of Lanckorona, on 1 December 1602, Mikołaj Zebrzydowski, the Voivode of Kraków commissioned the construction of a calvary, i.e. Roman Catholic monastery and the trails of the Passion of Christ modeled on the Calvary outside the city walls of Jerusalem.
