Roman Catholic Church of St. John the Evangelist
A medieval church with a rare Gothic baptismal font
The Period When the Church Was Built
Bronze Gothic baptismal font
The historic organ inside the building
A church where Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque history converge
The Church of St. John the Evangelist stands on the square in the Veľká district of Poprad. It dates back to the 13th century, and the walls of the nave and the tower have been preserved from its original Late Romanesque form. The presbytery and vault were added during the 15th century.
The most valuable element of the predominantly Baroque interior is a bronze Gothic baptismal font from 1439, complemented by a copper lid from 1666. Also worthy of note are the organ from the second half of the 17th century and the modern stained-glass windows depicting the Coronation of the Virgin Mary and Divine Mercy.
