The local experience
The 14th-century Gothic church in the center of Levoča’s square, with the wooden main altar carved by Master Paul’s workshop between 1507 and 1517, 18.6 meters high—the tallest in the world of its kind.
The Renaissance building with arcades in the middle of Master Paul Square, built after the 1550 fire, which houses rooms of the Spiš Museum. In front stands the cage of shame used to display the condemned.
The 781-meter hill north of Levoča, with the neo-Gothic Basilica of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, the largest Catholic pilgrimage center in Slovakia, and views over the town and the Spiš hills.
