  • The Old Town in Cracow (K IV/1978)
  • The historic Salt Mine in Wieliczka (K IV/1978)
    Seven hundred years of uninterrupted exploitation of the local rock salt deposits resulted in the creation of a labirynth of chambers (2000) and tunnels, about 300 kilometers in length, distributed over nine levels, the deepest being 327 meters underground. The tourist route is 3.5 kilometers long and leads through over twenty chambers and beautifully decorated chapels.
  • Auschwitz-Birkenau. German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp (1940-1945) (K VI/1979)
    Fence, barbed wire, guard towers, barracks, gallows, gas chambers and crematoria give evidence of the Nazi extermination plan and its conditions carried out in the largest Nazi concentration camp in German-occupied Europe.
  • Kalwaria Zebrzydowska:  one of Poland's major pilgrimage destinations as well as one of the most beautiful Calvary complexes in Europe.  The little town of Kalwaria Zebrzydowska is set amidst hills about 30 km south-west of Cracow. The whole complex of chapels was built over the surrounding hills in the pictoresque landscape of the Beskid Makowski. They all form the Kalwaria Zebrzydowska. (K II, IV/1999)
  • Wooden Churches of Southern Malopolska - Binarowa, Blizne, Debno, Haczow, Lipnica Murowana, Sekowa (K III, IV/2003). Four of these churches were entered on UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage List: St. Michael the Archangel Church in Debno Podhalanskie, St. Philip and Jacob the Apostoles Church in Sekowa, St. Michael the Archangel Church in Binarowa, St. Leonard Church in Lipnica Murowana.
