Pyramid, Archaeological hilltop monument in Maribor, Slovenia.
The 386-meter hill features a white chapel at its summit, surrounded by vineyards and offering views across the Drava River valley and city.
The original Upper Maribor Castle, built by the Spanheim family in the 12th century for protection against Hungarian invasions, stood at this location until 1784.
The classicist chapel contains a stone statue of Mary from 1821, marking the former location where Count Henrik Brandis erected it after lightning destroyed the previous structure.
Multiple paths lead to the summit from Maribor City Park, with the typical ascent taking between 15 to 30 minutes through grapevine-covered slopes.
Wildlife inhabits the natural surroundings of Piramida, including deer, hares, reptiles, pheasants, songbirds, and seasonal populations of butterflies and foxes.
