"Spiš Castle with its area of more than four ha, and partially in ruins, is one of the largest castle compounds in Central Europe. Spiš Castle was included in the UNESCO list of monuments belonging to the world cultural heritage in 1993.

Construction of the medieval castle on a travertine hill dates back to the beginning of the 12th century."
