A former royal mining town, Banská Štiavnica was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 and also forms the heart of the Štiavnické Hills Protected Landscape Area. Widely considered one of Slovakia’s most beautiful and culturally rich towns, it offers a rare combination of history, nature, and artistry.
