The structure is situated in the vicinity of the „Mieszkaj w Mieście” [“Live in Town”] housing estate in the Bronowice district. It was built to commemorate the 1050th anniversary of the Baptism of Poland and the visit of Pope Francis during the World Youth Days. The shrine is formed by a perforated, vertically situated cuboid made of Cor-ten steel profiles. The crowning element, i.e. the roof, reaches downwards by means of vertical elements, creating the sacred space. In its centre there is a cross of transparent glass; lit at night, it creates an even more mystical effect
