The majestic ruins of the medieval Spis castle made an incredible impression on me. It is hard to believe that the fortress built on a lofty hill was conquered twice. However, visiting the interior was a bit disappointing. Despite the full ticket price, the oldest and most interesting part with the keep and romanesque palace was not available due to renovation. A pleasant surprise was a visit to Spisska Kapitula, a fortified church town entered on the Unesco list together with the castle.
