Market Square, St. Egidius Basilica and Town Hall

Roman-catholic parochial church of St. Egidius. A written mention of a three nave basilica with simple arcades was made in 1427. In 1448 - 1458, the Bardejov builder Mikulas completed a shrine, a vestry, and St. Catherine's chapel, the royal oratory was built above the vestry. By 1464, the construction had been completed. A unique set of eleven wing-altars, a number of other works of the Late-Gothic and Early-Renaissance periods have been preserved to our days. Murals, handicraft, a set of patron benches, candelabra, chandeliers, a font, liturgical instruments, Calvary-sculptural, etc.

One of the most precious buildings on the Market Square is the Town Hall - National Cultural Monument - whose construction was begun in 1505 by Master Alexander. On the original gothic foundations
a renaissance superstructure with a beautiful oriel was built by Master Alexius and Master Jan of Presov.
This building is unique in Slovakia, it combines elements of the Early-Renaissance typical for areas north of Alps with the fading out of Late-Gothic artistic and architectural details.
