The Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary stands on the main square of Wadowice, now John Paul II Square. It is the principal church of the town where Karol Wojtyła was born on 18 May 1920. His family home, now a museum, is right next door.
Pilgrims come to pray at the font where the future pope was baptised and in the chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, before whose image he prayed as a child. As pope, John Paul II visited Wadowice several times and spoke of his home town with affection.
Many pilgrims come especially on the anniversary of his birth, 18 May. Wadowice is about 50 km from Kraków; the visit is worth combining with the Family Home museum, booking tickets in advance.
