Exactly 101 years ago Karol Wojtyla, the future Pope John Paul II, was born in Wadowice (a small town located 1-hour drive away from Krakow).
He came to Krakow as an 18-year old student and lived here for most of his adult life before taking up his papal duties at the Vatican in 1978.
When Karol first arrived in Krakow in 1938, he had a humble basement apartment at 10 Tyniecka Street. During WW2 he was forced to work for the Nazi´s in the nearby Zakrzowek quarry, but continued his theological studies in a secret underground seminary.
In 1946, he gave his first mass in the 12th-century of St. Leonard´s crypt under the Wawel Cathedral that you can see on the cover photo.
We'd like to invite you to watch a movie that we have prepared for the anniversary of his birthday this year. We are focusing on the years of the War 1939-45 showing places connected with his life in Krakow.
