UNESCO World Heritage – Bardejov Heritage Site
200 Sk commemorative silver coin
The town of Bardejov, administrative and cultural centre of the upper Šariš region, is located in the north-east part of Slovakia. The ancient royal borough offers a wealth of historic sights and is one of the most valuable urban complexes in Slovakia. The secular and ecclesiastical buildings giving the town a medieval appearance were built in the heyday of the town in the 14th and 15th centuries. The most valuable building is the historic Church of St. Egídius. Its eleven Gothic altars with panel paintings forming the altar wings are unique in the world. Worth of attention is the historic square bordered by Gothic and Renaissance town houses and the town hall from the beginning of the 16th century. The Gothic fortification is one of the best-preserved bulwarks within the European context. In 2000, the historic town centre including the well-preserved buildings of the Jewish synagogue and ritual baths was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
