The Athens of Roztocze is a project-synthesis of Jerusalem as a symbol of God's Revelation of the Old and New Testaments, antiquity from ancient Greece as the cradle of philosophy and science in general, ancient Rome with Roman law, amazingly faithful to natural law and the capital of the Holy Catholic Church of our Lord Jesus Christ as true God and at the same time true Man, based by the Will of his Divine Founder on the College of the Apostles with St. Peter at the head.
Jerusalem will be symbolized by the collection of figures of the great Saints of Revelation in the Old Covenant: Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles and others. and seven columns by each building to commemorate the seven days of creation and the seven days of redemption (Holy Week) - the greatest works of the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit.
Ancient Athens with Ionia, where the pre-Socratic philosophers come from, headed by Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, will externalize oak columns with Ionic capitals.
Rome as the homeland of Roman law and the Catholic Church will be highlighted by the chapel on the mountain with Saint Family, Our Lady of Gietrzwałd and the Saints as the Main Patrons of all continents on the Earth’s surface. It will be surrounded by twenty oak columns with twenty chapels of the Rosary (message of Our Lady in Gietrzwałd in 1877 in Polish: "Pray the Rosary every day") with wonderful and unique images of the mysteries made on the basis of the Gospel and mystical visions of Anna Katharina Emmerich, to whom the Lord Jesus said personally: "I am not giving you this story for you, but it is given to you to prove that I want to stay with My Church until the end of the world".
In addition, we want to organize a library with the works of possibly all the most important philosophers and thinkers of the world, a collection of artistic paintings with their portraits enriched with the most characteristic features of their thoughts in three separate houses: House of Ancient Philosophy, House of Medieval Philosophy and House of Modern and Contemporary Philosophy.
Let us not forget about the amphitheater as a meeting place for people who love the spoken or sung word. It will also be built on seven Piast eagle-shaped columns.
All buildings will be surrounded by a 33 cm wide fired ceramic ribbon as an element of art connecting the ancient Greeks and the Proto-Slavs with the engraved prayer as a synthesis of our holy catholic and apostolic faith.
There will also be a mini-zoo with charming animals: horses: "Hoss" and "Tymian", ponies: "Asia", "Werka", "Kubuś" and "Karuś", donkey "Lolek", goat "Basia", fallow deer and dogs: "Hektor" and "Puszek".
Two symbolic gates will lead to the whole: the gate of creation and the gate of redemption, on which our Logo will be placed to constantly realize anew our being: temporal in time, but invited by the Divine Creator to pass through the gate of salvation and exist in the Kingdom of Heaven in the House of God with the Angels and Saints eternally and in full happiness and blessing.
