Marian Hill rises above the historic town of Levoča in the Spiš region. Pilgrimages to the hill have a tradition going back to the Middle Ages, and the present neo-Gothic Basilica of the Visitation was built in the early 20th century. Its silhouette can be seen from far around.
Pilgrims come to honour the Mother of God in the mystery of the Visitation and to pray before her statue in the basilica. In 1995 Pope St John Paul II celebrated Mass on Marian Hill. Many combine the pilgrimage with a visit to Levoča's old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The main pilgrimage takes place at the beginning of July, in connection with the feast of the Visitation. The nearest larger towns are Poprad and Prešov. It is worth checking the details of the programme before travelling.
