Bazilika svätého Egidia

You find the basilica on the northern side of Bardejov's Radničné námestie, the town hall square, and the first thing that pulls your eye upward is the tower on its south-western corner. It rises 76 metres, among the tallest church towers in Slovakia, and ends in a roofed wooden gallery on its sixth storey with a pyramid roof and a four-metre metal cross above. Before you go in, look at the south wall of the tower for the stone relief of the town's coat of arms, and at the stone St Florian in knightly dress, the patron of firefighters. Given this building's history, he is an apt guardian.
