Town hall in Banská Štiavnica

The Chapel of St. Anna was attached to the building but was demolished in the 18th century and, in its place, a sculpture of the Virgin Mary was built.

This was a peace treaty between the Prince of Transylvania, Francis II Rákóczi and representatives of Emperor Leopold I.

Another Stiavnica wonder which belongs to town hall is the entrance, which is not on the front side as expected but on the back.

The story goes that it was because members of the council did not want people to know when they ended their meetings so that they could vanish to surrounding taverns.

On the right side of the entrance is situated a memorial tablet which reads (in Slovak): The historical city of Banská Štiavnica and its surroundings were entered into the list of world cultural heritage on December 9, 1993 as confirmation of their rare cultural value, which deserves protection for the benefit of the whole of mankind.
