St. John the Baptist Cathedral, Lublin — The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist [2] (Polish: Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela ) or simply Lublin Cathedral[3] in Lublin,[4] Poland[5] is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lublin.

It was built between 1592 and 1617 as a church of the Society of Jesus. One of the first baroque churches in Poland, it was modeled after the Chiesa del Gesù in Rome of Giovanni Maria Bernardoni. It is a three-aisled basilica with a wide nave. It was designated cathedral in the early 19th century, and since 1992, the archdiocesan cathedral.
