Spiritual Slovakia and its gothic treasures

While the architectural diversity of Slovakia is most visible through its castles, tourists take note of  gothic art in the form of altars and table paintings that are among the richest in Europe. St. Elizabeth´s Cathedral in Košice is Slovakia´s biggest church with main altar as well as stone portal. It is not only the representative of gothic architecture, but also a representative of the division between the Catholic and byzantine world that began during the Middle Ages. If you would like to see a network of gothic churches, we can prepare you an interesting list of them. Many of these churches are registered and protected by UNESCO.

Slovakia offers tourists a unique way to visit some interesting gothic monuments. The Gothic Route was the first thematic path created in Slovakia linking all the most important gothic monuments in the regions of Spiš and Gemer.  The Gothic Route is subdivided into four cyclical circuits: Spiš- Pieniny, Spiš- Tatras, Spiš- Gemer, and Gemer – Rimava.
