Not many people know that even though the towers look the same, their story and fate are completely different, as the official website of Región Trnava reported.
The construction of the basilica took place between 1380 and 1421, and its towers have since become a unique monument of the town.
Towers, bells and a rooster
The towers may seem the same at the first glance, but closer examination reveals that one has richer decorations. The southern tower was built earlier than the other one. At the time, Trnava ran out of money and had to postpone the construction of the other tower for a few years. Given that the town was trying to save money, the other tower was not decorated in such a glamorous way, according to Región Trnava.
