W latach 1901-1903 przebudową katedry kierował architekt Stefan Szyller, który zaprojektował również znaczną część dzisiejszego wyposażenia. W 1904r. polichromię wykonał Władysław Drapiewski. W czasie II wojny światowej częściowo zniszczona i zamieniona na magazyn. W świątyni znajduje się replika XII-wiecznych Drzwi Płockich oraz Kaplica Królewska z grobami władców Polski księcia Władysława Hermana i jego syna księcia Bolesława Krzywoustego oraz książąt mazowieckich. W roku 1991 modlił się w niej Jan Paweł II. Wpisana na listę Pomników Historii.
Bazylika Katedralna Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny
Bazylika, pierwotnie romańska została wzniesiona z inicjatywy biskupa Aleksandra z Malonne i konsekrowana w 1144r. W XIV w. dobudowano do niej dwie wieże. Po pożarze w 1530r. odbudowana przez włoskich architektów (m.in. Jana Ciniego ze Sieny i Jana Baptystę z Wenecji) w formie renesansowej bazyliki.
How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links
Would you like to implement the project in your city as well?

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
