District of Trnava: Trojičné námestie

About location

Tucked into the Danubian Lowland beside the Trnávka River, Trnava is a place whose character is shaped by the level, open terrain of western Slovakia. Trojičné námestie is the historic centre’s principal square, organized around the Baroque Holy Trinity column and framed by town houses with tiled roofs. Its Renaissance Town Tower, built in 1574, is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. Trnava gained lasting importance as an ecclesiastical centre: the University of Trnava was founded here in 1635, and the concentration of churches earned the city its “Slovak Rome” nickname. Pedestrian paving and civic buildings make the square a focal point for the compact old town, within the line of its surviving medieval fortifications.

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.
