    Tour’s Main Attractions

    St Florian’s and St Michael’s Cathedral

    Neo-gothic church dated 1888-1901. The church is one of the most distinctive features of Praga and its towers can be seen from a far distance, even on the other side of the Vistula River.

    The Catedral was viewed by its contemporaries as one of the most beautiful Polish churches, and its design was later replicated in different Polish cities.

    Warsaw Synagogue of Praga

    This small round building designed by Jozef Grzegorz Lessle served as a place of worship for generations of Praga’s Jews, until World War II when the Nazis transformed the synagogue into a delousing centre. The devastated, though not completely destroyed building survived the occupation. Not recognized as valuable, the building was pulled down by the authorities in 1961. The only remaining part of the synagogue is the old fence.

    St Mary Madeleine’s Metropolitan Orthodox Church

    Built by Russian for propaganda purposes in 1860s the church is one of the most characteristic features of Praga’s landscape. Today, St Mary Madeleine’s Church functions as a cathedral. The neighboring building, which dates from 1871, is the seat of the Metropolitan, the superior of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church.

    Church of Our Lady of Loreto

    It is Praga’s oldest building, A chapel is all that remains of the old building that used to be adjacent to a baroque church and Observants monastery. The immense baroque temple was constructed between 1628 and 1638. The monastery, with its cloister garth, was situated on the northern side of the church and was home to thirty monks.
