District of Skalica

The District of Skalica is best known in Slovakia for Skalický trdelník, a spit-baked sweet pastry protected under a European geographical indication. Its principal town, Skalica, lies in the Záhorie region of western Slovakia, close to the Morava River and the Czech border, with the White Carpathians rising to the north and east. The historic centre preserves the Romanesque Rotunda of St George, generally dated to the 12th century, alongside churches and former civic buildings that reflect Skalica’s long role as a regional town. Local wine traditions also form part of the area’s identity, with vineyards extending across the rolling land beyond the built-up centre.
