The little township Wadowice is situated in southern Poland, small distance from Krakow. You can get at that place in one hour by bus. Wadowice’s trademark is the remarcable fact that the Pope John Paul II was born there.
Given birth in 1920, he used to live in that place until 1938 so plenty of places in Wadowice relate to his activity at the time of his maturity. When you come there proceed to Koscielna 7 Street where you would see the family home where the Pope was born.
People are faced with some preserved original devices and possessions of Wojtyla’s family line suchlike articles of house furniture, images, libraries, even a skiis. In the vicinity of the flat there is the glorious baroque church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the city square where the young Karol Wojtyla used to go aside.
Additionally his school is opened for guests. The town itself dates back to XIII century so there is a nice selection of additional ancient architecture.
Private Wadowice tours are best way to explore John Paul II hometown.
