Inside the Church of the Holy Cross, Warsaw

Inside the incredible Church (Basilica) of the Holy Cross on Krakowskie Przedmieście in Warsaw:


A truly impressive place, full of beautiful side altars, paintings, and statues:





Have just read that the church dates back to the 15th century when it was a wooden structure, and has gradually become more grand over the years.


Even coming to house Chopin's heart in the late 19th century:


To be honest, I hadn't noticed this until recently.

But my favourite part lies outside:


Christ, carrying His Cross, as the Redeemer, looking out to the world.
