Sabinov

The well-preserved historic town inspired the creators of the Oscar-winning film The Shop on Main Street, who decided to shoot here, even though the original plot of the novel was set in Humenné, where the author of the book, Ladislav Grosman, also comes from. In the centre of the town, there is an exposition reminding of the filming of the Oscar-winning film. The statues of St. James and St. John the Evangelist located in the Church of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist became one of the stimuli for the documentary film series “Po stopách Majstra Pavla”. The desire to return to his native region brought here director Marek Škop, who filmed a scene of the Oscar-nominated film “Eva Nová” here. The atmosphere of the famous fair in Sabinov was used by the creators of the film "Loli paradička", who filmed several scenes here.
