Svatá Hora, Pilgrimage site in Příbram II, Czech Republic
Svatá Hora is a Baroque monastery complex set atop a hill overlooking the town of Příbram, featuring a basilica, covered walkways, and four corner chapels. The buildings are organized around a central area, creating an enclosed compound with views across the town below.
The Jesuits commissioned Italian architect Carlo Lurag in 1647 to build the Baroque complex, transforming a small chapel into a major religious center. The project expanded over decades as the site became an important pilgrimage destination.
The wooden statue of Virgin Mary, carved from pear wood and attributed to Archbishop Arnošt of Pardubice, sits in the silver altar at the center of the basilica. People have journeyed here for centuries to venerate this figure, which has become the spiritual heart of the site.
The complex is accessible daily from early morning and easily reached on foot from the town. Parking is available nearby, and guided tours help visitors explore the interior spaces and features of the site.
A covered staircase with 365 steps connects the town to the complex, with each step representing one day of the year. This architectural design makes the ascent a reflective journey with hidden meaning.
