Jasna Góra Tower & Treasury
Wieża Jasnogórska i Skarbiec
One of Poland's tallest church bell towers, which you can climb for views over the whole city. The treasury and museum display centuries of pilgrim offerings.
The Jasna Góra Tower is about 106 meters tall and is one of the tallest historic church towers in Poland. In summer, visitors can climb more than 500 steps to the observation level, which overlooks the Avenue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the entire city. The monastery's treasury and the 600th Anniversary Museum display jewels, liturgical objects, weapons, and votive offerings that kings, nobles, and pilgrims gave to the Black Madonna over the centuries. The collection includes the Nobel Peace Prize medal donated by Lech Wałęsa. Admission is free or by donation. Opening hours change with the season, and the tower is closed in winter.
