St. Elisabeth Cathedral is Europe’s easternmost Roman Catholic Gothic cathedral is also Slovakia’s loveliest. It has patterned roof tiles, a breathtaking gilded main altar with 48 panels, and intricate carvings, particularly over the north and west doors. The build of the cathedral begun in 1378 and took over 100 years. Rebuilt several times, this beautiful structure is rather confused in terms of architectural style. Take a tour of the crypt of Ferenc Rakoczi, a Transylvanian Protestant who led an uprising from Kosice against the Catholic Habsburg empire in the 18th c. And then climb up the clocktower to get a great view over Kosice’s restored old town.
