District of Sabinov

Sabinov straddles the Torysa River in Slovakia’s Prešov Region, a valley location that fostered its role as a market town in the Šariš area. King Sigismund granted it the status of a free royal town in 1405, and its historic centre remains focused on the main square and the Gothic Church of the Beheading of St John the Baptist. Sabinov also entered film history as a filming location for The Shop on Main Street, the 1965 Slovak-Czechoslovak film that won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The nearby Čergov Mountains give the town a distinctly upland setting. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Prešov Region.
