2024Easter - The Internal Fixtures of the Basilica Minor of St. Giles, Bardejov - Postcard

The Basilica of St. Giles is located in the former royal town of Bardejov in the north of the Šariš region. The oldest written report related to the church dates back to 1247. The church took its present form during the 14th – 15th century, which was the golden age of Bardejov. The architecture of the church and its internal fixtures are typical of that time. The church is a three-nave basilica and also includes four chapels. What makes this church extraordinary are its eleven original Gothic winged altars, which are still preserved today and were a gift from the local guilds (1440 – 1510).
