The first were chapels

The chapels are among the first objects of the foundation of the voivode of Kraków and starosta of Lanckorona, Mikołaj Zebrzydowski, who gave rise to the entire Calvary sanctuary. First there was the Chapel of the Holy Cross, which was later rebuilt as the Church of the Crucifixion, followed by Pilate’s Palace on the neighbouring hill.

The project ‘The Heritage of the Kalwaria Zebrzydowska Sanctuary on the UNESCO Trail’ is co-financed by the EEA Financial Mechanism 2014-2021.
