Hrad Šebeš (also Šebeš castle, castrum Sebes, Sebeswar, the small castle of Šebeš) is a 13th-century castle protected as a national cultural monument of the Slovak Republic, belonging to the cadastral territory of the village of Podhradík in the district of Prešov. It lies at an altitude of 529 metres, on a hillock above the village, whose name recalls the locality of the small castle of Podhradie (Waryala). The castle site is situated on an overgrown rocky spur, on whose crown the now barely distinct remains of Šebeš castle can be made out, in the Slanské vrchy mountains.
