Lublin is known for many beautiful and historic churches. The most important church of them is Cathedral of Lublin that has a long and various history. Our next virtual walk will be provided in the Cathedral.
Going along Krakowskie Przedmieście street, just near the Old Town we can see the Cathedral. It is not a usual church. This church hides many places, histories and secrets.
In the entrance, going on the right, there is a copy of Shroud of Turin. Then, we can see magnificent, baroque interior of the Cathedral. Many picturesque details and theme pictures make the whole Cathedral unique. There are regular prayers and holy masses.
You should point two places out: the picture of Holy Mary and the Tribunal Cross. It is known in the history of Lublin that they played a crucial role in the religious life in Lublin. Both of them are incredibly important in the Cathedral.
Going further, we can visit the Acoustic Sacristy where the whisper said in the one corner can be listened in the opposite corner. It makes the special acoustic impression. It is happening like that because of the unique building technique of the sacristy.
Moreover, there is a possibility to visit the Treasury where richly decorated costumes and church treasures have been gathered for many centuries.
Under the Cathedral there are hidden crypts. They can be visited too. They used to be the graves for monks, priests and important people of Lublin. Nowadays, this place is prepared for visiting.

It is important to remember to visit the Cathedral with Acoustic Sacristy, the Treasury and the Crypts. Only if visiting simultaneously can you discover the secrets of the Lublin Cathedral.
