The magnificent Archcathedral is a must-see when visiting Lublin. It is a former Jesuit church, built in 1586-1604. After a fire in 1752, the church was rebuilt. At that time, the famous illusionist polychromes by master Joseph Mayer were created.

In addition to the illusionist polychromes, there are other interesting things to admire in the temple, such as the baroque altar made of Lebanese pear wood and relics of St. John Paul II. In the Archcathedral, one must also see the amazing Acoustic Vestry, where people standing on opposite corners can talk to each other in a whisper, and the columns painted on the vault seem to be moving. There's also see a unique treasury and crypts where Lublin bishops are buried. An exhibition "Cult - history - legends. Lublin Archcathedral - the heir of the monuments and tradition" consisting of mementos from the non-exisitng church of St Michael the Archangel, among others, is located at the choir.
