Bardejov Town

Conservation Reserve

Another Slovak town inscribed in the List of the World Cultural Heritage is Bardejov,
one of the oldest towns in Slovakia.
The ancient town of Bardejov (population 33,400) is undoubtedly among the most beautiful
towns in Slovakia. It was rightly awarded the European award, the gold medal of ICOMOS
Foundation of UNESCO in 1986, and it was inscribed into the List of the World
Cultural Heritage of the same organisation in 2001.
The attractiveness of Bardejov is enhanced by the
pleasant landscape with numerous land-
marks. In the calm
valley of the Barde-
jovský potok brook
on the south-eastern
foothill of the flysch
mountain of Busov the
spa of Bardejov is

located. The town administers it. The Múzeum
ľudovej architektúry (The Museum of Popular
Architecture) is situated on the edge of the spa,
it concentrates 28 folk buildings gathered in the
upper part of the Šariš and north of Zemplín.
