A Marian pilgrimage town in Upper Silesia, southern Poland, Piekary Śląskie has drawn the faithful to its shrine of Our Lady of Piekary since the 17th century and is widely regarded as the spiritual capital of Upper Silesia. The town sits on the Brynica river within the Silesian Highlands, part of the broader Katowice conurbation, and lies within reach of several UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
