District of Košice II: Fountain City Hall
Košice City Hall and its fountain occupy a major boulevard junction on the western side of Košice, in eastern Slovakia. This is the administrative centre of Slovakia’s second-largest city, set amid the broad streets and post-war development of the Terasa district. The City Hall complex and its landscaped fountain mark a civic focal point beside Trieda SNP, one of the district’s principal avenues; the Galéria shopping centre stands nearby. Košice spreads across the Košice Basin, with the Hornád River running through the city to the east. Its historic core, centred on Hlavná ulica and St Elisabeth Cathedral, contrasts with this modern municipal quarter. Košice held the title European Capital of Culture in 2013.

The Region of Košice combines the urban energy of Slovakia’s second-largest city with the broad, quieter landscapes of the east in a way that reflects its position between the Slovak Ore Mountains and the lowlands near Hungary. Košice is centred on Hlavná ulica, where St Elisabeth Cathedral forms the Gothic focal point of the historic core. Beyond the city, the Hornád River crosses a region of wooded hills, farmland and karst terrain. Slovak Karst National Park, known for its extensive cave systems, adds a distinct geological dimension to this corner of 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.
