Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Sanctuary of the Lord Jesus in the Prison in Gorlice - a Catholic religious building, the temple was built in the years 1885-1892 in the neo-Renaissance style. The construction of the church was undertaken by the then parish priest Marceli Żabicki. The author of the design was Fr. Franciszek Pavoni, an Italian monk, the superior of the Dominicans in Kraków. In 1915, the temple was seriously damaged as a result of warfare. It was rebuilt in the years 1921-1932. In the years 2000-2003, the church was renovated. On May 23, 2009, by decision of Benedict XVI, the church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gorlice became a minor basilica. The ceremonial act of granting was presented by Bishop Kazimierz Górny, the ordinary of the Rzeszów diocese.

The first Orthodox church in Uście Gorlickie was established around 1539 as the seat of the Orthodox parish. In 1691, the parish accepted the Union of Brest and the new temple, built in 1786, was already a Greek Catholic church. In 1938, a polychrome was painted in the wooden building. After Operation Vistula, the church was taken over by a Roman Catholic parish, but after 1956, services in the Byzantine-Ukrainian rite were occasionally held there, organized by priest Wasyl Hrynyk. Since 1997, the sole owner of the church is the Greek Catholic parish.
