Cudowne sanktuarium Polecam serdecznie to miejsce

Kościół świętego Józefa w Podgórzu to prawdziwa perła architektury neogotyckiej i jedno z najpiękniejszych miejsc po tej stronie Wisły. Jego strzelista wieża i bogato zdobiona fasada od razu przyciągają wzrok, a wnętrze zachwyca spokojem oraz klimatem modlitwy i skupienia. Położony na uroczym Rynku Podgórskim idealnie wkomponowuje się w przestrzeń dzielnicy. Nawet jeśli ktoś nie interesuje się sakralną architekturą, trudno przejść obok niego obojętnie. To miejsce z duszą i historią, które warto odwiedzić podczas spaceru po Podgórzu.
