District of Trenčín

Tucked along the Váh River in western Slovakia, the District of Trenčín is a place whose character is shaped by the steep castle rock above its historic town. Trenčín Castle crowns this outcrop, forming the focal point of a settlement that developed on an important route through the Váh valley. Beneath it, Mierové námestie is lined with historic town houses, while the old town retains a compact urban fabric. On the rock is the Laugaricio inscription, a Latin text recording a Roman victory in AD 179 and among Slovakia’s most significant surviving traces of the Roman world. Beyond the centre, the district extends into the valley and adjoining hills of the Trenčín region.
