District of Trnava

Trnava is best known in Slovakia for its exceptional concentration of historic churches, which earned it the nickname “Little Rome.” The city lies on the Trnávka River at the western edge of the Danubian Lowland, where its compact centre is still partly enclosed by medieval fortifications. St John the Baptist Cathedral, completed in 1637, is a major early-Baroque landmark, while Trnava University was founded in 1635 and helped establish the town as an important centre of learning.

The Region of Trnava stretches from the Little Carpathians to the Danube, encompassing fertile lowlands and rolling uplands in western Slovakia. Its southern districts lie in the Danubian Lowland, while the Váh runs through the east and the Little Carpathians frame the northwest. Trnava, the regional capital, is known for its notably preserved town walls and the University of Trnava, founded in 1635. Farther east, Piešťany has long been associated with thermal spa traditions. Vineyards, market towns and river plains give the region a distinct character within easy reach of Bratislava.

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.
