Marian Hill, Pilgrimage summit in Levoča, Slovakia.

The elevated peak of Mariánska hora features a neo-Gothic church with a central sculpture of Virgin Mary and five surrounding chapels along the pilgrimage route.

The site emerged as a refuge during Tartar invasions in 1241, when local inhabitants constructed a protective chapel on the summit of Mariánska hora.

The annual July pilgrimage brings together thousands of visitors from Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania to participate in religious ceremonies.

The Roman Catholic parish office in Levoča provides information about religious services, while a Tourist Information Office assists with general visitor inquiries.

In 2005, Mariánska hora joined the European Association of Marian Pilgrimage Sites, placing it among centers like Lourdes, Mariazell, Czenstochowa, and Fatima.
