Šariš Castle, Medieval castle ruins near Veľký Šariš, Slovakia
The stone fortress stands on a cone-shaped hill at 570 meters elevation, featuring Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements above Prešov District.
Built in the 13th century to protect the Road of Torysa trade route, the castle served as a power center until its destruction by gunpowder explosion in 1660.
