Przemyśl Cathedral Underground

The crypts of one of the oldest and most valuable temples of Podkarpacie is a unique museum and sacred space in which the exhibition titled "The Underground of the Cathedral as a necropolis of Przemyśl bishops and lay people" was presented. There are relics of saints, sarcophagi of eleven bishops and their vestments and rings. There is also a mausoleum of Bishop Alexander Fredro, who in the years 1728-1732 gave the cathedral a baroque shape. The preserved fragments of the old walls are a tangible trace of the centuries-old history of the temple. The oldest monument in the underground is the walls of the Romanesque rotunda located under the presbytery. Nicholas dating from the 11th-12th century.

The undergrounds made available in 2014 cover an area of 470 m². Their appearance is the result of a reconstruction that took place after the great catastrophe in 1733, when the vault of the newly rebuilt church collapsed. In the 1960s, the existence of a rotunda was discovered. In 2011, extensive renovation and maintenance work began in partially flooded and buried crypts.
