Cancelled stamp issue "800 years of history of St. Mary's Basilica in Kraków"
Catalogue number: 5483
Issue date: 18-10-2025
To celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Mariacka Parish in Kraków, Poczta Polska issued a commemorative philatelic sheet that honors one of Poland’s most iconic churches — St. Mary's Basilica. Located on Kraków’s Main Market Square, the basilica dates back to the 13th century and took its current Gothic form in the 14th century. It is renowned for the monumental altar by Veit Stoss, Gothic architecture, polychromes by Jan Matejko, and the tradition of the Mariacki bugle call, played hourly from the basilica’s tower.
Stamps depict a photograph of St. Mary's Basilica against the Kraków skyline. The tablet includes a polychrome by Jan Matejko from the basilica’s presbytery and the official logo of the 800th anniversary celebrations. Vertical decorative elements feature polychrome by Antoni Tuch, also from the presbytery. The sheet is adorned with a floral and plant motif border and the inscription "800 lat historii Parafii Mariackiej w Krakowie" at the top and bottom. The FDC envelope features a drawing of the basilica’s hejnalica tower.
