District of Nitra

Nitra, at the heart of the District of Nitra, has served as a political and ecclesiastical centre in southwestern Slovakia since the early Middle Ages. The city lies on the Nitra River beneath Zobor, a wooded hill on the edge of the Tribeč Mountains. Nitra Castle rises above the historic core and remains the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nitra, traditionally founded in 880. The settlement was also an important centre of Great Moravia; Prince Pribina’s church, consecrated in 828, is regarded as the first documented Christian church in what is now Slovakia.
