Bastion of St. Rocha is one of the four mighty bastions of the Jasna Góra fortress, located on the north-western side of the sanctuary. It houses the latest exhibition of militaria at Jasna Góra, including the equipment of the former Arsenal, and an exhibition of numerous votive offerings. The building itself was erected in the years 1631-1636, during thorough works related to the fortification of the monastery. The museum exhibition was opened in the Bastion of St. Roch in 2006, after renovation works.
