description |
kalwaria zebrzydowska is a breathtaking cultural landscape of great spiritual significance. its natural setting – in which a series of symbolic places of worship relating to the passion of jesus christ and the life of the virgin mary was laid out at the beginning of the 17th century – has remained virtually unchanged. it is still today a place of pilgrimage. |

justification |
criterion (ii): kalwaria zebrzydowska is an exceptional cultural monument in which the natural landscape was used as the setting for a symbolic representation in the form of chapels and avenues of the events of the passion of christ. the result is a cultural landscape of great beauty and spiritual quality in which natural and man-made elements combine in a harmonious manner.
criterion (iv): the counter reformation in the late 16th century led to a flowering in the creation of calvaries in europe. kalwaria zebrzydowska is an outstanding example of this type of large-scale landscape design, which incorporates natural beauty with spiritual objectives and the principles of baroque park design. |
