Co vidět v Košicích

Košice Essentials

Košice’s historic center is anchored by the St. Elizabeth Cathedral, the easternmost Gothic cathedral in Europe, and the 14th-century St. Michael's Chapel. The central promenade features the Art Nouveau Slávia building, the Neo-Baroque State Theatre, and the 1986 Singing Fountain. Beneath the streets lie the archaeological ruins of the medieval Town Gate, while the 15th-century Mikluš's Prison and the Baroque Plague Column offer glimpses into the city’s complex past. Cultural institutions like the Slovak Technical Museum and the East Slovak Art Gallery are housed in landmark historic buildings.
