District of Prešov

Few cities in eastern Slovakia have a history as closely tied to trade between the Kingdom of Hungary and Poland as Prešov. Set on the Torysa River below the slopes of the Šarišská vrchovina, this regional centre has long linked the Šariš area with routes running north towards the Carpathians. Its elongated main square is anchored by the Gothic Co-Cathedral of St Nicholas, while the historic Solivar complex recalls the salt production that shaped local commerce. Prešov is also the seat of the Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Prešov, an important institution in Slovakia’s religious life.
