Cathedral of the Nativity of the Mother of God

The oldest building in Košice. The frescoes inside create the illusion that the building has no roof. There's a monastery adjacent to the church.

Likely interesting for the more art inclined traveler after seeing the usual government sponsored touristy stuff.

Baroque building from the 18th century, this palace too hosts a library.

The theatre was built in a new-baroque style during the years 1879-1899, according to the projects of A. Lang and A. Steinhardt, where a former theatre building, built in 1788 - 1790, was situated. Before that, a town-hall building was standing here. The interior of theatre is richly decorated with plaster ornaments, the stage is lyre-shaped. The ceiling of the theatre's building is decorated with paintings by the Viennese painter P. Gatseb with scenes from Shakespeare's tragedies Othello, Romeo and Juliet, King Lear and Midsummer Night's Dream. On the main facade of the building a memorial plaque can be found, dedicated to the first director of the theatre after World War II, the national artist Janko Borodac.

The archbishop of Eger was exiled in Košice for a long time in the 17th century, but in 1804 the city got its own bishop and four houses next to the cathedral was transformed into a bishop's residence. It burned down in 1841 and was rebuilt in its current form, later the library and left wing was added. The house was empty for much of the Communist Era, but returned to its former use afterwards. In 1995 the pope promoted the office of the bishop of Košice to the status of archbishop, so the building is the residence of an archbishop.

Childhood home of writer Sándor Márai (1900-89), part of which has been turned into a museum.
