The hill used to be burial place for Celts, later for Romans. The provost church named after Saint Adalbert was built here in the XII-XIII. century, which was destroyed in the XVI. century during the Turkish plundering. The Calvary was built by the Jesuits early XVII. century. Baroque chapels designed by Athanasius Wittwer stand at the foot of the Golgotha. The seven stations alongside Kálvária Street, depicting the suffering of Jesus were completed in 1722.
