Specification
Spiš Castle is the largest medieval castle in the territory of Slovakia and with an area of more than 4 hectares, it ranks among the largest castle complexes in Europe. The first preserved report of its existence was issued by King Andrew II in 1209. Already in this period, the castle was the administrative, economic, and cultural center of Spiš. The original Romanesque stone castle with fortifications underwent many architectural modifications in Romanesque-Gothic, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Until 1464, it was the property of Hungarian kings, later belonging to the Zápolya, Thurzo, and Csáky families. In the 18th century, it lost its military significance, ceased to be the residence of its owners, and began to decay. After a fire in 1780, it gradually turned into a ruin. In 1961, Spiš Castle was declared a national cultural monument, and in December 1993, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List along with the cultural monuments of its surroundings.
