The Cathedral Basilica was built in 1144 and founded by Bishop Alexander of Malonne. It was rebuilt many times, but its primary Romanesque elements of architecture were preserved. In the Royal Chapel there is a sarcophagus of two Polish rulers -- Władysław Herman and Bolesław Krzywousty. In the church porch there is a bronze replica of the Romanesque Płock Door, made for the Płock's cathedral ca. 1154 in Magdeburg. Close to the cathedral stands a monument to Pope John Paul II in token of the Holy Father's visit to Płock on June 7 and 8, 1991. The Pope stayed overnight in the seat of Płock's bishops at 10 Narutowicza Square. Special plaque on the building commemorates this fact.
