Chrám Narodenia presvätej Bohorodičky
Greek-Catholic church in Neo-Romanesque style built between 1882 and 1898. The iconostasis and chair were installed in 1901, and the church was elevated to cathedral status in 2008.
Muzeum Vojtecha Lofflera
Likely interesting for the more art inclined traveler after seeing the usual government sponsored touristy stuff.
Dominikánsky kostol
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.
Forgács palác
An Empire style building from the early 19th century with the blazons of the Forgács and Pongrá families on the façade, now a library. In the 1940s, when a bank functioned here, a glass roof was installed, this part is now accessible to the public.
