Shrine
The Shrine
Radecznica is a famous shrine of saint Anthony of Padua. In 1664 he appeared here and ordered to build a church. Several miracles occurred soon. Then a monastery of the Order of Friars Minor was established. Since then Radecznica has been a popular pilgrimage site, up to this day. In 2015 Pope Francis proclaimed it a minor basilica.[2]
