Kalvária Banská Štiavnica, Sacred park in Banská Štiavnica, Slovakia
The religious complex includes three Baroque churches, seventeen chapels, and an Ecce Homo station spread across the Scharffenberg hill slopes.
Construction began in 1744 under Father František Perger's guidance, creating what became one of Slovakia's most significant religious landmarks in the 18th century.
The Calvary represents a sacred pilgrimage path with stations depicting the Passion of Christ and Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary.
Visitors can access the park year-round, with churches and chapels open daily during summer season and weekends throughout the rest of the year.
The complex features more stations than typical Calvaries, with an exhibition in the Lower Church displaying artifacts from its restoration period.
