    I want to tell you about one not very famous attraction of Bratislava, which I discovered a week ago. This is Kalvaria – a place of great historical and spiritual significance, with a special atmosphere. ⠀ Here is the Church of Our Lady of the Snows (photos 2 and 3), the tower of which was demolished by the communists so as not to compete with the Slavin memorial nearby. I want to get inside someday, the photos of the interior after reconstruction are impressive! Nearby is a small chapel of St. Joseph (4), and behind is a sculpture of Golgotha ​​(first photo). But the most interesting thing is the descent to the Grotto of Our Lady (Lurdská jaskynka). ⠀ This pilgrimage site arose in a former quarry at the end of the 19th century, inspired by the visit of the French Lourdes by the Countess of Sapari. In front of the grotto with the sculpture of the Virgin Mary, candles are always burning, there are flowers, and benches for worshipers are installed. ⠀ Thousands of signs with gratitude for children, healing, return from war are impressive... An amazing place, very close to the city center you can feel peace and quiet, feel the enormous spiritual strength and closeness of God. Or just relax and think about life. ⠀ I advise you to get here from the SAV stop along Hlbokej cestě, but you can also take bus 147 directly to the church. Sorry for the quality of the photos - some of them were taken at dusk...

    Very nice place with a view of Bratislava. This beautiful place deserves more attention and calm down. I highly recommend visiting this place 👍

    A place with a deep spiritual atmosphere marked by the prayers of hermits and also the sad fate of the chapel removed from this place so that it would not be more dominant than the Slavín monument. A strange and beautiful view of Bratislava and an atypical view of Slavín from above. I recommend.

    A beautiful place of pilgrimage, with a cave of the Virgin Mary. A little further up you will find the Church of Our Lady of the Snows. Also beautiful. You can get here by the Hlboká route (through a pleasant little forest) or from above from Slavín.

    Very beautiful sanctuary in very beautiful surroundings in Kálvária. This place the faithful has more than 4,000 memorial 'thank-you' tables addressed to the saints. Especially worth to visit the liturgy. I got spiritual calm. God bless them.

    Beautiful sanctuary of the Virgin Mary. Surrounded by natural areas. Very nice place to pray. The surroundings are good areas for sports and walks in the spring.

    Religious site. Quiet, lovely to sit down and contemplate especially in summer, it is covered by trees.
