Calvary Complex in Prešov, Religious complex on a hill in Prešov, Slovakia
The Calvary Complex features a central Baroque church accompanied by fourteen chapels of the Stations of the Cross on the western edge of Prešov.
The Jesuits initiated the construction of this religious site in 1720, with the first chapel consecrated in 1721 and the complete complex finished in 1893.
The complex contains underground catacombs and a cemetery, serving as the center for spiritual festivities and regular holy masses in the region.
Visitors can reach all sections of the complex throughout the year, with informational signs explaining the historical and architectural elements.
The site holds the distinction of being considered the second most notable calvary structure in the former Kingdom of Hungary.
