This church, also called St. James Basilica Minor, dominates the main square of this historic town, and its tall slender is the most distinct feature of Levoca's silhouette. The interior houses a set of 18 altarpieces, a collection of medieval and Renaissance sacred art. The 61-ft high gilded main altarpiece is the world's tallest Gothic altar. It was carved from lime wood in 1501-1517 by Master Pavel of Levoca, who also created the six-ft high statues of the Madonna, St. James and St. John the Evangelist. An interesting anecdote: our guide told us that this Roman Catholic Church shared the space with Lutherans at one point in time.
