As old as over 1000 years the town of Wiślica is one of the oldest towns in Poland. Some sources say that it was here that the duke of the Wiślica accepted Christianity there in 880. A gypsum baptismal font, which has a diameter of 4.5 m and depth of 37 cm and was used for collective baptism, has been preserved up to now. The most precious monument of the town’s architecture is, however, a Gothic collegiate today referred to as Minor Basilica. Owing to its sculpture of the Madonna of Łokietek dating back to 1300, the temple is known as a sanctuary of the Mother of God of Wiślica. The vaults of the collegiate contain relics of two Romanesque temples dating back to the 12th century and 13th century as well as a famous plate depicting praying figures (“Płyta Orantów”) dating back to 1170 and unique on the European scale. As far as the historic layout of the town is concerned, it is worth seeing Jan Długosz’s House of 1460 now housing exhibitions of the Regional Museum, a Gothic belfry and numerous historic tenement houses.
