You must log in to save a POI scan.

The dominant feature of Levoča is a steep hill with a neo-Gothic church - Mariánska hora. It is one of the oldest and most important pilgrimage sites in Slovakia. The chapel on Mariánská hora was an expression of gratitude to the Spišiaks for their rescue at this place during the Tartar invasion in the years 1241 - 1242. Archaeologists found a fortified settlement on a hill just behind Mariánská hora, which is still called Burg - Castle. It was here that the inhabitants of the town were able to save themselves from the Tatars in the fortified stronghold.
