District of Zvolen

Among the cities of the Banská Bystrica Region, Zvolen stands out for its position at the confluence of the Hron and Slatina rivers and its pair of prominent castle sites. Zvolen Castle, a Gothic royal residence built in the 14th century, rises above the centre and houses part of the Slovak National Gallery. On the wooded hill opposite are the ruins of Pustý hrad, a medieval castle complex overlooking the Hron valley. The town is an important rail and road junction in central Slovakia, while nearby forests and low hills mark the transition towards the central Slovak mountains.
