District of Rožňava

The District of Rožňava lies along the Slaná River in Slovakia’s Košice Region, where the Rožňava Basin meets the Slovak Ore Mountains. Its centre, Rožňava, developed as a mining town, and that legacy remains visible around the broad historic square, dominated by a Renaissance watchtower. The Gothic Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary stands nearby, while the former mining landscape gives the town a distinct character. South of town, the district reaches into Slovak Karst National Park, a limestone area of plateaux, sinkholes and caves; its caves form part of a UNESCO World Heritage property.
