SpiÅ¡ Castle is a ruin of a castle that occupies the summit of the travertine hill of SpiÅ¡ Castle Hill.

SpiÅ¡ Castle is a ruin of a castle that occupies the summit of the travertine hill of SpiÅ¡ Castle Hill. It forms the dominant feature of the wide area on the main road connecting the eastern Slovak regions of SpiÅ¡ and Å ariÅ¡. It is not only evidence of the development of architecture from the 12th to the 18th century in our country but, with an area of 3.9 hectares, it ranks among the top six largest castle complexes in Slovakia. Despite being elevated above the town of SpiÅ¡skÃ© Podhradie, it is geographically located within the territory of the village of Å½ehra in the district of SpiÅ¡skÃ¡ NovÃ¡ Ves in the KoÅ¡ice region. The castle is a national cultural monument and, since 1993, it has been inscribed as part of the heritage ensemble of Levo?a, SpiÅ¡ Castle, and surrounding monuments in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
