Church of Saint John the Baptist and Our Lady of Mount Carmel at Maková hora
Church of Saint John the Baptist and Our Lady of Mount Carmel at Maková hora, Baroque church on Poppy Hill in Smolotely, Czech Republic.
The church features a central nave with two towers at the front facade, constructed in classic Baroque style with Wallachian Renaissance influences.
Italian architect Canevallo designed and built this religious structure between 1719 and 1722, although the original construction plans were never fully completed.
The building operates as a pilgrimage destination where Mass celebrations occur every third Sunday of the month from May through October.
Visitors can reach the church by following a marked 1.4-kilometer trail from Smolotely village, with parking available at the cemetery 500 meters away.
The hill name Maková refers to its metal mining history rather than poppy cultivation, translating to 'the mountain that has metal' in English.
