About Gocław
Where to stay in Gocław
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The Sanktuarium Matki Bożej Królowej Polskich Męczenników gives Gocław its clearest marker, and the subdistrict spread around it dates from 1977 within Praga-Południe. Its setting is south-east Warsaw. The Church of the Holy Apostles John and Paul serves the other parish.
A base here suits you if a quieter corner of the city appeals more than a bed among the central hotel blocks.
About Gocław
What are the main landmarks in Gocław?
Two churches carry the whole list. The Sanktuarium Matki Bożej Królowej Polskich Męczenników and the Church of the Holy Apostles John and Paul are the only landmarks the record keeps for Gocław, a subdistrict whose ground was set out from 1977. Both sit within Praga-Południe.
Those two dedications, one to the Queen of Polish Martyrs and one to the Apostles John and Paul, are what a walk through this part of south-east Warsaw is organised around.
What is the history of Gocław?
Gocław carries a founding date of 1977. Nothing earlier appears in its record. The subdistrict belongs to Praga-Południe, and the two parishes attached to it, the Sanktuarium Matki Bożej Królowej Polskich Męczenników and the Church of the Holy Apostles John and Paul, are what the register lists beside the date.
South-east Warsaw gained a quarter better read by that year than by monuments.
