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

The Gothic Revival basilica stands at 781 meters above sea level, providing views across the surrounding countryside and the town of Levoča below.

The original chapel on this site dates back to 1247, when local inhabitants sought protection during the Mongol invasions of eastern Slovakia.

The basilica holds the status of a national shrine and receives thousands of pilgrims annually, particularly during the Feast of Visitation in July.

Regular Sunday masses take place at 14:30 from Easter Monday until the last Sunday in October, with priests available for group celebrations.

Pope John Paul II elevated the church to basilica status in 1984 and visited in 1995, drawing a congregation of 650,000 people.
