In Poprad, we and my spouse were passing, but decided to stay for three days. The city is very interesting. Rather, not even the city itself, but its surroundings. He stopped me here that Poprad was founded in the thirteenth century, and I am a big fan of the old. So what can I see here? Want to share? True, I will not tell you, because then all the intrigue will be lost. I personally like it very much when we say a tour operator does not open all the chips at once, but only a slightly open the veil, then the journey becomes much more interesting, because during the trip you do pleasant discoveries during the trip. I will try myself as a tourism manager and if something is wrong, I ask not to judge me strictly because I will try very much.
City Gallery Poprad . It is intriguing, is the fact that the exposure of the gallery is located immediately in three different places. To be honest, I saw this for the first time, because the museum is a museum, and the gallery is a gallery and they are accepted in one place, that is, under one museum or one gallery, one building is given. Poprad City Gallery, completely destroyed my existing stereotype. Interesting? Would you know how I was interested! So, the first exposition of the gallery can be seen in the old building of the former power plant, which once worked for a couple, and this fact itself is already very interesting, because that the exposition is that the building in which it is located, caused me an incredible feeling of delight. The second place where you can see the pictures of famous Slovak artists, is located in the exhibition hall Vila Flora. The third and in my opinion, the most curious collection of paintings, is collected in the exhibition hall, which is located on Alzhebetin Street. All the works of artists deserve the most loud praise, but one canvas is clearly allocated against the background of others - the oldest one of all known and existing, the image of the mountain massif is high tatras. If you ever find yourself in the city of Poprad, even if possible and pass like us with my spouse, do not hurry, stop here at least on the day and visit this gallery, which will tell you about the history of these places silent and at the same time eloquent, Multicolored smears of ingenious artists.
Church of the Holy Trinity . Even on the very approach to the temple, you begin to feel some pacification and inner calm. The church is beautiful, but not causing beauty, but some modest innocence and chastity. The territory of the temple and radiates the care that is visible in every bush and in every flower. The church itself and its territory, surrounds a small fence, which was probably given, decency for the sake, or because it was so instituted. Crossing the threshold of wickets, immediately see beautiful flower beds with gentle flowers and beautifully trimmed by shrubs. The church building itself can not be called young, but too old they won't call it, because the church was built in the period from 1829 to 1834. The church belongs to the evangelical church, which refers to the Augsburg religion, and may I be an Orthodox Christian, but in this temple it became a homely cozy and calmly. The inner decoration of the temple, not by the luxury and it fully corresponds to the outer picture. If you have anxious or you just want to feel again careless as in childhood, then I advise you to visit this temple, and then share your feelings and impressions with me.
Church of St. Agidius . By adhering to the traditions of dizzying intrigue, I am the most interesting places, I decided to leave at last. Church of St. Egidia, is a real pearl of the small town of Poprad. It is located on the main city square and peacefully adjacent to the Church of the Holy Trinity. Find the temple is very simple, and it is even easier to find out. The main building of the church looks pretty interesting because it is snow-white and built in the style of Baroque. The first words that I came to mind when I saw it - a defective coquetry. However, behind this immaculate coquette, it is very difficult and perhaps even to some extent, a tragic story. The very first mention of the church, dates back to the thirteenth century, when the town of Poprad, was part of Germany, but it was not a fact that it was in the thirteenth century. From historical sources, it is relifically known that in 1326 the church consecrated Pope John twenty-second. If logically arguing, they built it earlier than this year. Okay, we will not break the head over this and leave counting scientists. On the occasion of such an event as a sanctification, near the church, and if it is more accurate, twenty meters from it, an eighteen meter tower with a bell tower was built. Grand event for those times, I will tell you! For four hundred years from the moment of this celebration for believers, everything was fine and calmly, but after four centuries in the temple unexpectedly broke out the fire, the reasons for which are not known to this day. So, unmanaged fiery element, destroyed all the chronicles that were kept in the church and most of the interior details. It is because of this fire, it is impossible to establish an accurate date of the construction of the temple and restore its original appearance. As you understood, probably, the church has undergone a grand reconstruction during which the coquette elements in the baroque style were added. Although, there are also positive aspects of the reconstruction, because during the recovery period, an organ appeared in the church, which today stands in its place.
During the Second World War, the church building had to be closed, but not at all because of the restless situation. The thing is that the church building came to emergency condition and take parishioners it simply could not because of the potential threat to the health of the parishioners. Restore Church of St. Egidia, succeeded only in 1998. And they restored it in the form of it was reconstructed after a malfunctional fire. Now everyone who wants, has a unique opportunity to visit the old church with such a difficult story. What is the most interesting, so this is what looking at him is simply impossible to even assume that this church was tuned and restored twice.
