Review:
St. Mary's Basilica was begun as a Romanesque church in the late 13th century, but over the centuries has evolved into a unique conglomeration of styles. One of the most noteworthy pieces is the altar, which was sculpted by Veit Stoss and is considered a Gothic masterpiece. Also unique are the basilica's stained-glass windows, although only three of the original medieval windows have been preserved. The rest are from the 19th century. Visitors should look carefully while wandering up and down the nave to admire the overlapping styles of centuries of architecture. Adventurous tourists can climb the bell towers to see the four oldest liturgical bells from medieval Poland.
