    Church visit
    This church is simply stunning we were at malta lake and we could see the domes from there and it looked big from there. The closer you get the more stunning it gets. On the approach to the church the buildings around it are quiet impressive to. One has a 3d mosaic which all of our party had to stop and take a photo of it just to believe what we had seen see attached photo. The entrance to the church is amazing it certainly has a wow factor as the spires are so tall. Inside the church doesnt disappoint either as the tombs of the priest's are simply beautiful. You can pay to light a candle to pay respects to loved ones lost which we did as a sign of respect. Inside the church there are more impressive rooms that you can go in for a small price but again well worth paying for as they are stunning. Outside the church in the grounds there is a stunning statue of the pope whichbis inundated with tributes. In the grounds of the church there is a little restraunt which is well worth a visit high end food and drink at very affordable prices. Even the priest visits for a tipple or 3.

    One of the most STUNNING churches I have ever visited. Not to be missed on your visit to Poznan.
    During my wife’s and me tour of Poznan Old Town Square and the surrounding streets, we reached Golebia Street, which houses one of the most amazing churches we have ever visited in the past, the Parish Church of St. Stanislaus (Fara Church). These sights are amazing and highly recommended. The Parish Church of St. Stanislaus church is amazing and stunning with wonderful designs and decoration both on its exterior and especially the richness of the interior space. Beautifully designed pillars, spectacular ceilings and plenty of spectacular elements in every corner and any direction you turn your eyes to. A site that must not be missed !!!

    Parish Church or simply Fara.
    I shall not say what church here and there who have the best look. For once i was inside a church for a little look and took also some photo. Sitting on a church bench and have a little speak with them who not are around me anymore but in heaven. Roman Catholic basilica. In the heart of Old Town and so big and plassed that to get photo of total church from outside was impossible. Built between 1651 and 1701. Polish and Italian masters in the Baroque style. Directed by Italian-born Tomasz Poncino Photo time left for me now. When I left I give a lot of coins to the lady in door she sent me airkisses and crossed her a lot and I felt she was super happy and in chock almost.

Part of the Jesuit college complex, this is a fine example of Polish baroque architecture. Adorned with may beautiful statues, and paintings, it is a beautiful building. There are a number of tombs, in the cathedral with a number of exquisitely decorated, small side rooms, you can step in to. It is just a short walk from the Old Town square and should be on your to-do list, when visiting Poznan.

This pink church is part of the former Jesuit collegiate buildings on College Square, a short walk from the Old Town. Inside is a stunning, rich baroque interior - not at all what I was inspecting! It's a big church too, so the statues (e.g. of 12 apostles) and the effect is awe-inspiring. Well worth dropping in.

I love this building for a number of reasons.
Firstly, it is not like most churches. It is a beautiful dark and baroque styled building, with glittering gold inside.
Secondly, I was married here and, when looking around churches, this was immediately where I knew we would be married.
Whether you go in to join a mass or to discover its beauty and history, a visit to Fara is essential when visiting Poznan and Stary Rynek.

Church is located in the city center in the market square and is hidden in one of the back streets. You can see the entrance emerging in the middle of tenement houses. You will be overwhmelmed by the beauty of this church. This is one of the most beautiful baroques churches in Poland.

Such a splendid church, we had an English speaking guide who was very knowledgeable.
It was part of the free walking tour. I thoroughly recommend this tour
we managed to see and hear about a lot of Poznan that we would not have found out ourselves.

In a spare hour a Polish colleague showed me the Poznan sqare and via one of the side Streets we came in this church. I barely believed what I saw. I holy mess was going on so I could not make flash pictures. I was the most beautiful baroc church I have ever seen. If I am to visit Poznan again and have some (considerable) time left, I defenitly want to revisit this charch again. A church like this I have never seen in my life. This enriches your life. Amazing.!!
