Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels
The original hilltop church north of the centre was gradually enlarged and today is the massive Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels. The holiest image in the church is the icon of Mary in the Zebrzydowska Chapel (Kaplica Zebrzydowska) to the left of the high altar. Tradition has it that the eyes shed tears of blood in 1641, and from that time miracles occurred.
Pilgrims flock to Kalwaria year-round but especially on Marian feast days, when processions along the Calvary Trails (Dróżki Kalwaryjskie) linking the chapels take place.

Bernardine Monastery
The Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels is flanked to the north by the equally huge Bernardine Monastery, which contains impressive 16th- and 17th-century paintings in its cloister.
