Church of the Holy Cross, Devín

The parish church of the Holy Cross from the 13th century, which has undergone several architectural reconstructions and represents an interesting combination of Gothic and Baroque styles. A large burial ground from the times of Great Moravia has been uncovered in its surroundings. The discovery of a tombstone with rich symbolism has led to speculation that it is here that Saint Methodius is buried.
