This is lovely. Kinda reminds me of the catacombs that the early Christians celebrated Mass in.

Also, I think it’s great to note that most of this was built during the era of Communism in Eastern Europe. A “Cathedral” right under the Commies’ feet hehe

This is utterly unbelievable.

I’ve always been a huge fan of poland, but I’ve never seen quite something like this. It’s remarkable, spectacular, inspiring, beautiful, elegant, wonderful, brilliant, glorious and a tremendous place for dearest Poland.
