City Introduction

Częstochowa is a city in southern Poland, located on the Warta River. It is an old town that dates back to the 11th century and is believed to have obtained status as a city in 1356. The town prospered in the 14th century, and the decades around the year 1500 was a booming time as well, since Częstochowa was allowed to charge money to cross the site’s bridge over the Warta. Later, industrialization contributed to great growth in the city.

The town plan of Częstochowa is characterized by the large square, Plac Władysława Biegańskiego, where the town hall and the city museum are located. From here, the wide and long street Aleja Najświętszej Maryi Panny goes both east and west, and it forms the central axis of the city. Near the eastern end of the street is Częstochowa’s old market square, the Rynek, and the city’s neo-Gothic cathedral. To the west, the Jasna Góra Monastery.

Jasna Góra Monastery is the most famous sight in Częstochowa. It was built and developed into a large castle with a residence to the west of the city center. The monastery is one of Poland’s largest Catholic pilgrimage sites, and visitors come here to see and pray to the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, a painting that has been attributed with several miracles over time. According to legend, the painting arrived from Jerusalem in 1384.

Jasna Góra Monastery was founded in 1382 by Pauline monks who came from Hungary. The monastery was greatly expanded over the years, and the large fortress walls and bastions were built from the 15th century to the 20th century. In the large monastery complex, you can see beautiful architecture with entrance gates, monastery buildings with, for example, a library and the particularly beautiful church. You can take a walk in the lovely park around the bastions.
