Poland boasts a number of places connected with John Paul II. Our route leeds us first to Wadowice - Karol Wojtyla's birthplace. We'll visit the Pope's family house and parish church where he was baptized. In Krakow where John Paul II arrived in 1938 and stayed here most of his life, till 1978 when he was elected the Pope. Our tour begins with a visit to St. Florian’s Church, the first church in Cracow in which the Pope (then priest Karol Wojtyla) was a vicar. The next stop is Collegium Novum, the main building of the Jagiellonian University, where after WWII Wojtyla lectured in theology, the Archbishop’s Palace that was his home for a number of years. There we will see there his monument situated in the courtyard, as well as ‘the most famous window in the world’ from which he always greets the people coming to see him during his papal visits.
