Often called the spiritual capital of Poland, Czestochowa attracts pilgrims and tourists from the whole world.
They flock to the Marian shrine located in the Pauline monastery on Jasna Gora (Bright Mountain). The Chapel of the Miraculous Picture contains the icon of the Virgin Mary with the Christ child known as the Black Madonna that pulls in millions of pilgrims every year. The monastic museum is full of art pieces and votive offerings.
