Jasna Góra is the most important Marian sanctuary in Poland and one of the major pilgrimage centres in Europe, run by the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit (the Pauline Fathers).
The monastery complex rises on a hill in the centre of Częstochowa, surrounded by historic ramparts and fortifications.
The monastery was founded in 1382, when the Paulines were brought here. Its most famous treasure is the miraculous image of Our Lady of Częstochowa (the Black Madonna). In the 17th century the monastery was fortified; in 1655 it withstood the Swedish siege, which became one of the symbols of national resistance.
The basilica, the Chapel of the Miraculous Image, the Jasna Góra Tower, the Treasury, the Arsenal, the Knights' Hall and the Ramparts with the Way of the Cross.
