The most impressive Baroque Calvary in Central Europe proudly sits on the volcanic hill called Scharfenberg.
Banská Štiavnica Calvary has been the dominant sight of the mining town since 1744. Several thousand tourists visit it every year. In 1993, together with the town of Banská Štiavnica, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. On the walls of the Calvary there are magnificent frescoes, thanks to which it is considered to be the most artistically exclusive Baroque building of its kind. From the town centre you can reach the top of the hill in less than 45 minutes.
