District of Nitra: Novy Lukov: Nitra
Nitra combines an ancient hilltop core with a modern regional centre in a way that reflects its position on the Nitra River below the Tribeč Mountains. Among Slovakia’s oldest urban centres, it was the seat of the early medieval Principality of Nitra. Nitra Castle crowns the historic Upper Town; its complex includes St Emmeram’s Cathedral and remains the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nitra. Zobor, a prominent hill in the Tribeč range, rises beside the city and gives the urban area a clear northern landmark. Beyond the centre, university campuses, residential districts and farmland tie Nitra to the fertile Danubian Lowland. The city is also home to Agrokomplex, an exhibition centre known for agricultural fairs and other public events.

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.

Slovakia is best known internationally for the High Tatras, whose granite summits form the country’s most celebrated mountain landscape. Gerlachovský štít, at 2,655 metres, is the highest peak in Slovakia and in the Carpathians. The Danube runs past Bratislava, where Bratislava Castle stands on a hill above the river, linking the capital to Central Europe’s major waterway. Beyond the cities, forests, karst terrain and small historic towns define much of the country. Slovakia’s long folk tradition is also represented by the fujara, a large shepherd’s flute recognised by UNESCO.
