Dominican Basilica of St. Stanislaus
Bazylika Dominikanów w Lublinie
A 14th-century Dominican monastery church in the Old Town, known for a large oil painting of the 1719 Lublin fire and a relic said to be from the True Cross.
The Dominican Basilica of St. Stanislaus was founded in 1342. After several fires, it was remodeled in Renaissance and Baroque styles, and it is one of the most important churches in the Old Town. It contains 11 side chapels, among which the Firlej Chapel is especially richly decorated. A large painting depicting the 1719 Lublin fire is a valuable historical source for studying the Old Town’s past appearance. The church once housed a fragment said to be from the cross of Christ, making it an important pilgrimage site. The basement and bell tower can be visited on a guided tour.
