Meet your guide and head to the Blessed Virgin Mary Church, a Gothic-style church built from red bricks. Enter the church and admire its beauty from the inside. Admire the famous altar made in the 15th century with dozens of wooden Gothic figures. See the tombs of noble families, chapels for city councilors, lawyers, and merchants, and the altar of Pope John Paul II (who served in this church during his visit).
