  2. Spišská Kapitula was originally an independent village but in 1948 it became an administrative part of the village of Spišské Podhradie. • The village arose around a central hill with a church and it still keeps its religious character.     The village was surrounded by stonewalls built between 1662-1665. • In 1776 it became a seat of the Spiš Holy See. Its population was about 250-300 people for centuries.

  3. Spišská Kapitula is today a municipal cultural reservation. The St. Martin Cathedral is the dominant cultural monument in the village. It was built in 1245-1273 in the late Roman style with two towers. Later it was enlarged by additional buildings mainly the Zápoľský Chapel built in the Gothic style. The cathedral has particularly valuable interior especially the Gothic altars, statues, tomb stones, chalices, bells, etc.
