Mariánska hora, Minor basilica on Mariánska hill in Levoča, Slovakia.

Mariánska hora is a Gothic Revival basilica that sits on a hilltop overlooking Levoča and the surrounding countryside. The building contains a spacious interior with traditional church architecture and religious objects.

A chapel at this site was founded in 1247 when locals sought shelter during Mongol invasions. The present building arose much later and continues the long religious history of the location.

The shrine draws pilgrims who come to pray and feel connected to this sacred place throughout the year. It serves as a gathering point for religious devotion and shapes the spiritual life of the surrounding region.

The site is reachable on foot and stands at a height where you can enjoy wide views, especially on clear days. The best time to visit depends on weather conditions, and you should wear suitable walking shoes.

A papal visit in 1995 marked a milestone for this place and drew an unusually large number of the faithful. The event remains vivid in the memory of the local community and is often asked about by visitors.
