Night Show at Spiš Castle Angers Conservationists, City Hall Denies Legal Violations

A nighttime entertainment program held at Spiš Castle has drawn criticism from conservationists who called the event "against common sense." The castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Europe's largest medieval castle complexes located in eastern Slovakia, hosted what appears to have been a commercial show that raised concerns about the preservation of the historic monument. Local municipal authorities defended their decision, stating they did not violate any laws in permitting the event. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between tourism promotion and heritage conservation at Slovakia's most important historical sites.
