Wadowice is a small town 50 km from Kraków where Karol Wojtyła was born in 1920, who would later become Pope John Paul II. Wojtyła grew up and went to school here until 1938 when he joined the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. Today Wadowice, primarily known for its holy citizen, is a site of the John Paul II museum in his family house.
