CHURCH OF SAINT BARBARA (KOSTOL SV. BARBORY)

The baroque complex of the Franciscan church and monastery of Žilina was built in the 18th century on the outskirts of the city. The church was dedicated to Saint Barbara, a martyr who, according to legend, was imprisoned in a tower by her father - a great Christian opponent. At present, the church is administered by the Dominicans. This pretty little church has the particularity of housing a magnificent original 18th century organ.
