スロバキアの洞窟・トップ20

This complex, which still impresses visitors today—what must the people of that time have felt when they saw it?—has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The television series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity," which I highly recommend, documents these sites in film segments (each lasting a quarter of an hour). "On a 634-meter-high hill stands Spissky Hrad (Spiš Castle), with its Romanesque palace, keep, and Gothic chapel, as well as the Zápolský Palace, Spisská Kapitula (Spiš Chapter), the former seat of the Spiš Provostship with its provost and twelve canons belonging to the chapter; the three-aisled Cathedral of St. Martin, with one of the few surviving Romanesque sculptures in Slovakia, the 'White Lion,' and the Church of the Holy Spirit in Zehra," it states the series' website. The corresponding film contribution (although only in German) can be accessed in the ARD media library using the following link =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/burg-spissky-hrad-und-levoca-slowakische-republik-folge-243/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82OTI2MTc0

However, back then, his name was Count Orlok. Absolutely worth seeing. We used the castle's free app for the audio tour, which I highly recommend.
