Banska Stiavnica, a small city in Slovakia, was once an important medieval mining town for silver and gold.
The center of the city is a preserved medieval town, with many historical buildings, such as Saint Catherine Church.
One of the central features of the town is the Trinity Square, centered around a monument commemorating the plague.
The area has been a mining area for thousands of years, but the current town was established around the twelfth century.
Banska Stiavnica saw the height of its mining activity between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries as one of the most productive mining regions in Europe.
The city has the unusual claim of having two castles, both of which now operate as museums.
The Old Castle is a simple keep with four towers, while the New Castle is a larger and more elegant structure.

Travel video about destination Banska Stiavnice in Slovakia.
Banská Štiavnica is one of the most beautiful cities in Slovakia and whose historic buildings form its mediaeval centre. The old town, and silver mines of the surrounding area, have been designated as a World Cultural Heritage Site. The Kammer-Hof was created by the combination of three Gothic buildings during the sixteenth century. Up until the nineteenth century, the mining chamber and the first technical university in the world were located there. The Church Of The Assumption Of Mary was built by the Dominican Order at the beginning of the thirteenth century. For the first time in this region a rib vault was raised in its construction and served as a model for further buildings. However, at the beginning of the nineteenth century the church burned down and was rebuilt in Classical style. Now its altars and paintings shine out in all their glory and highlight the deep religious faith of both miners and mine owners alike. Since 1971, the New Castle has been a museum. On one floor, musical instruments, household items and clothing. Another floor contains numerous weapons and suits of armour which were used during hostilities by the Turks. The city underwent troubled times and its prosperity had to be defended. The wealth of the city and its mining of silver made Banská Štiavnica wealthy and created its historical splendour.
