The renovated ruins of the ancient church "Pusztatemplom" is one of the most valuable buildings which dates back to the age of the House of Árpád Kings and had been designed before the Mongol invasions of Europe. It was a sacred church in the past and its ruins can be found in Veľká Čalomija today. The ruins of Pusztatemplom creates an idyllic and tranquil atmosphere together with the surrounding natural environment. It is one of the most popular touristic destinations not only amongst local citizens but among foreigners too. This marvellous area is also a favourite place either for a church wedding and civil wedding ceremonies, furthermore several cultural events are organised here such as the famous “ Night of the Museums “ event.
