This historical object awaits you with a quiet deep breath of ancient times, which have disappeared into it and become part of its character. Priest's house is one of the oldest territories in Spišské Podhradie. Its exact original time of origin remains unknown, but there are prerequisites that its roots return to the Middle Ages. This home was originally established as a settlement for cannons and served various purposes in the course of its long history, from religious activities to administrative functions. Look up on the architectural style of Cannonia. Although the exact architect and his time remain unknown, you can notice the unique elements of the medieval structure. The facade is quite modest, but its means details speak of a rich past and respect for tradition. The main first are simple frames of windows and entrance gate, which greets you as to the historical world. Cannonia was a place where many sprouting actors from the region met. Although particular history and personalities are often overcrowded with legends, this place is associated with specified events and characters that moved between the world of clergymen and politicians. These personalities contributed to the development of the city and its impact on the region. The treasure of Cannonia is the mystery of its unknown architect and the precise time frame for their creation. This marriage between historical facts and legends gives the place a unique atmosphere that you can feel every step after its floor. Let yourself be inspired by this story and remember to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Cannonia for a while. During your visit to Spišský Podhradie, I recommend that you embark on the archer of its historical monuments and discover their uninterestedness. And now that you have the opportunity to explore even more, I recommend you continue to hike around the city and approach other hidden secrets. Goodbye!

Leto: In summer, Spišské Podhradie is full of tourists. Cannonia becomes one of the main goals where you can enjoy the warmth of sunny days. When visiting, we recommend arriving early in the day to avoid long fronts while enjoying cannon without being overcrowded. Wear soft clothing and sun protection, such as a sunscreen and a wide - colored hat.
Under: Spišské Podhradie will be transformed in the city of revived colors. The leaves of the trees reveal various cuttings, adding to the cannon's atmosphere of mystery and climate. Sunny days are shorter, so it is advisable to visit the cannon earlier in the day. We recommend wearing multiple layers and strong shoes as it can be cooler.
Winter: In winter, Spišské Podhradie is covered with snow. The atmosphere is quieter and calmer. When visiting, we recommend wearing warm clothing and protective boots, as it can be cooler and snow can affect the availability of some parts of the cannon.
