The Church of St. Aegidius, located in the centre of Poprad, is the most valuable historical monument of the town.
Its origins date back to the 2nd half of the 13th century. The signs of the sacred anointing of the table of the main altar and the wood of the cross on the walls of the church testify to the fact that it was consecrated in the distant past.
In 1994 - 1998 the reconstruction of the early Gothic portal at the southern entrance to the church was carried out. In 2008, an organ was built into the reconstructed 18th century baroque cabinet. Recently uncovered murals have significantly enriched the collection of medieval murals not only in Spiš, but also throughout Slovakia.
The Church of St. Egidius in Poprad can also be visited as part of a guided tour, during which it is possible to climb the tower and enjoy the beautiful panoramic view.
