Driving into Banská Štiavnica feels different from the rest of Slovakia. The road drops into an old volcanic bowl and suddenly you’re in narrow streets, driving around Maiden Castle, Klopačka (wooden-tower building that served one purpose: to send sound signals across the mining town), Calvary (a baroque hilltop pilgrimage complex)
Café sit inside medieval walls, restorations mix with worn facades, and the whole town carries the quiet weight of the mining wealth.
Banská Štiavnica was once one of the most important gold and silver mining towns in the Kingdom of Hungary and later the Habsburg Empire.
