The Basilica of the Omni-mediatress of All Glories is a church Niepokalanów, Poland. It was designed by the architect Zygmunt Gawlik from Kraków. It was built in 1948–1954. In June 1950 it became a parish church for a new parish in Niepokalanów.[1]

Three-nave church can accommodate up to five thousand people. The height of the church tower is 47 m. Three massive, double winged doors hold symbols of the most famous places of Marian apparitions around the world. In April 1980, Pope John Paul II granted the church the title of the basilica minor.[2]
