Lichen Sanctuary is certainly not a monument, but it is interesting for the basilique that is here. Bulding is new, and the sense of style inside can be discussed for a long time. But still, it is an interesting place on the list.
In 1999, the place visited John Paul II, and the apartments where he lived today can be visited as a museum. There is also an interesting museum of Christian history, in which there are several old collections of incunabula, as well as many things that relate to Polish history and a lot of things from the Osman Empire, like swords, helmets, saddles, or famous bouquets gained during numerous Polish-Turkish conflicts.
People from this region are far away from any more well-known museums, so this place is needed, even for children from nearby villages who could learn more about history. The signatures of the things presented here are very good. It also tells briefly historical events from the time of the shown monument. Its shape refers to the Basilica of Saint Peter's in the Vatican and St. Paul's in London. For a long time, it was the highest of them, although smaller. The doubling of the dome that was used here is still an engineering achievement.
In the basilica, there is the chapel of John Paul II and his relics, as well as the throne on which he sat during a meeting with the believer. A beautiful painting is the image of the face of Christ from the Holy Shroud.The great organization of that place—restaurants, cafeterias, and even rooms for guests—is an added advantage of that place, like a beautiful garden.
