And which unsolved theft once sent shockwaves through the altars of the Church of the Assumption? Move beneath ancient facades and feel the pulse of revolutions, betrayals, and secret alliances. Let each step ignite fresh wonder as Banská Štiavnica’s legends come alive around you. The city’s hidden heart awaits. Dare to listen and discover its true story.
