The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall are to open a Jewish community centre on a visit to Poland.
The couple will spend time in the city of Krakow, where they will also visit historic and cultural sites.
The Prince became patron of the community centre project after visiting Poland in 2002.
It was funded by donations raised by the charity World Jewish Relief (WJR), which is based in London and helps Jewish communities around the world.
The charity, which was founded in 1933, is credited with helping 10,000 Jewish children escape from the Nazis.
The prince and Camilla will also tour the city's famous Cloth Hall and its main church, St Mary's Basilica.
They will also see Poland's former political and cultural centre, Wawel Castle, during their one-day visit.
