The mining castle above Štiavnica

The walls on Glanzenberg (Glittering Hill) – where gold and silver mining once began

It was right here that rich veins of gold and silver came to the surface.

To protect them, a kind of mining castle was built on the summit, which also provided military protection for the town below. Today you will find an excavated archaeological site with information boards, and wonderful panoramic views of the town.
