Summary/Abstract: Since its inception, the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin has established and maintained fruitful relations in the areas of science, education, culture, and other fields of activity with numerous institutions and organizations in Europe and around the world. Spanish-speaking countries are also among KUL’s partners. This topic has not yet been comprehensively studied. This article presents KUL’s contacts with Venezuela, symbolized by the cross from Táchira, given to Pope John Paul II by one of the country’s residents in 2001. The relations established in the mid-1970s have borne fruit in the form of joint scientific and research projects, publications, and conferences. They are coordinated by the KUL Institute of History, in particular the Department of the Spanish World, Politics, and International Relations.
