The dominant monument of the town centre of Banská Štiavnica that has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List is Starý zámok (Old Chateau) standing on the terrace west of the Trojičné námestie square.
The oldest part of the Castle is the former parish Church of Virgin Mary. It was built together with the adjacent ossuary of St. Michael in the 13th century as a three-nave Romanesque basilica. The fortifications built around the church in the 14th century formed foundations of the future town castle. A bastion and an entrance gate with a tower were later added to fortifications.
The Basilica was rebuilt into a Gothic church in the early 16th century. The Turkish threat provoked the need for another reconstruction that turned the fortified church into a stronghold. The church vaulting was removed, which resulted in the present four-wing palace building with inner courtyard on the site of the central church nave. The 18th-century Baroque adaptation concerned above all the original entrance tower.
Today the Old Chateau houses the Slovenské banské múzeum (Slovak Mining Museum). Theatre performances and cultural programmes are organized here during the summer tourist season.

V Štiavnici je všetko hore, alebo dolu kopcom. Dobre padne načerpať energiu v botanickej záhrade, kde nájdete sekvoje aj japonský céder. Sláva Štiavnice nespočívala iba na bohatstve jej podzemia, ale aj na sláve Baníckej akadémie. Zriadila ju v roku 1762 Mária Terézia ako prvú univerzitu svojho druhu na svete a zhromaždila v nej špičkovú vedu a techniku tej doby. Botanická záhrada obklopuje budovy Akadémie.

In the village of Banský Studenec there are two lakes lying next to each other - the so-called Kolpašské. These are artificial tanks - tajchy - which were built for the needs of mining. They are currently used for fishing (especially the smaller ones), but also for summer recreation (especially the larger ones). Although the lakes are also called Studenské (after the village of Banský Studenec), they belong to the warmest secrets of Banská Štiavnica. The water in them is controlled, of sufficient quality for bathing. There are changing cabins on the shores of Lake Kolpaš. However, facilities providing services to holidaymakers are not here. The location will be appreciated especially by visitors looking for quiet, little visited natural swimming pools.
