Stará Ľubovňa, Medieval town near Polish border, Slovakia
Stará Ľubovňa sits on the Poprad River, featuring a 13th-century castle atop a 548-meter cliff and a central square with preserved merchant houses.
The town gained prominence in 1412 when Hungarian King Sigismund pledged it to Poland for 37,000 silver pieces, initiating a 360-year period of Polish administration.
The open-air museum exhibits regional architecture, including a wooden Greek-Catholic church from 1833 and traditional craftwork from the Spiš region.
Regular bus services connect Stará Ľubovňa to major Slovak cities, while the town maintains educational facilities serving over 16,000 residents.
The castle museum displays artifacts from both Hungarian and Polish rule, reflecting the town's position between two medieval kingdoms.
