*Press trip | Transromanica -Slovakia: Day 3*
Spišská Kapitula was a small fortified city that belonged to the Church. The main building there is the Saint Martin Cathedral. However, it’s also home to the bishop’s palace, canonical houses and some other institutions.
Our hotel @penzion_stmartin was located in one of those historical canonical houses. So since the moment we arrived to Spišská Kapitula yesterday evening, we were under a huge impression as we stepped back into the medieval time.
The history of this place is so fascinating. Spišská Kapitula was the Church town, a small version of the Slovak Vatican. Spiš Castle, where numerous noble families had their seats of power, is located on a neighboring hill. And between them is Spišské Podhradie, a small town where people built their houses, opened their shops and workshops already during the Middle Ages.
After a nice breakfast, we went to explore the UNESCO heritage site - Saint Martin Cathedral. Our guide was Spišská Kapitula’s archivist Monika Bizonova who showed us around, told us some fantastic stories from this place and introduced to us numerous medieval details from this amazing building.
My favourite places were the medieval westwerk, small Cathedral’s library and an archive. It’s a place filled with so much history. We stayed in the Cathedral for hours exploring it from its sanctuary, towers all the way to the crypt.
It was hard to say goodbye to that beautiful site. And I’m sure we could stay there for much longer...
One of the reasons for my visit was to make a video about the @transromanica’s sites in Slovakia. So I did a lot of filming, too, and am planning to finish the video within the next few weeks. Also, I’ll publish an article about all these wonderful medieval locations in Slovakia next Friday. So, keep an eye on the @culturetourist social media channels for updates.
I’m on my way to Bratislava now where I’ll spend the last day of my trip :)
