Thanks to the visits of touri­sts from dif­fe­rent parts of the world, many good things have been achie­ved in St. Mary­’s Basi­li­ca. In Febru­ary 2021, we com­ple­ted a five-year con­se­rva­tion of the Main Altar. The master­pie­ce carved by Veit Stoss has rega­ined its splen­dor and is still our pride.

From Mon­day to Satur­day the Main Altar is ope­ned at 11.50 a.m. and it is clo­sed at 6.00 p.m. On Sun­days and holi­days, the altar carved by Veit Stoss is ope­ned from 2.10 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. On selec­ted reli­gio­us holi­days the­re will be no ope­ning cere­mo­ny, and it rema­ins ope­ned during the litur­gy. It is rela­ted to the pre­sen­ta­tion of indi­vi­du­al sce­nes from the life of Jesus and St. Mary, e.g.  Chri­st­mas, Resur­rec­tion or the Assump­tion of St. Mary.
