Wiślica
A village with a Gothic collegiate church built by Casimir the Great, beneath which a 12th-century floor engraved with praying figures was found.
The story
Wiślica was one of the main centres of the Vistulans, before Poland was born, and perhaps the site of an early baptism. During excavations in the collegiate church's crypt, the “Plate of the Orants” was found: a gypsum floor engraved in the 12th century with figures at prayer, among the oldest works of art in Poland. Next to the church are the foundations of a rotunda and the archaeological museum.
