Hronský Beňadik, Slovakia, Slovakia

Bazilika sv. Benedikta opáta a Panny Márie in Hronský Beňadik, Slovakia, is a historic Roman Catholic church and part of a Benedictine abbey founded in 1075 by King Géza II to promote Christianity and settle the Hron River valley. The current Gothic basilica, built between 1346 and 1375 on the foundations of an earlier Romanesque structure, features a three-aisled design with cross-rib vaults, polygonal apses, a double-tower facade, and buttresses, making it one of Slovakia's most significant medieval monuments protected as a national cultural heritage site. Elevated to minor basilica status in 2019 by Pope Francis, it houses a relic of Christ's blood, offers indulgences, and serves as a diocesan shrine with regular liturgies and spiritual retreats in the adjacent monastery.
