Spišský Castle, also known as Spiš Castle, is one of Slovakia’s most iconic landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its foundations date back to the early 12th century, and it underwent multiple expansions and architectural changes over the centuries. The castle sprawls over an area of over four hectares, making it one of the largest castle sites in Central Europe.
Originally built as a fortress for defense against invaders, Spišský Castle later served as a royal residence and administrative center. The castle's historical significance is matched by its aesthetic appeal, characterized by Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural elements. Although the castle was partly destroyed by fire in the late 18th century, restoration work has made it a compelling destination for history buffs and sightseers alike.
