About this building
The first St Mary's Basilica was erected in the 13th century. However, during the Second Mongol invasion of Poland (1259–1260), Mongol troops left most buildings in ruins. The reconstruction of the church began in 1290 and would last until the end of the 1300s. The church overlooks the today lively Plac Mariacki (Marian Square), where the cemetery of the church used to be. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978.
