Visit with my friends, with a very very affordable price for the broke students that we are. Benoît's guided tour taught us a lot and also amused us, the place is brand new and very didactic. Special mention to team 2 and Benoît who helped create an unforgettable memory for us! See you soon !

On vacation with 7 friends, we passed by by chance and what a surprise. An exciting guided tour punctuated with fine humor and anecdotes just as interesting as the history of this villa. Big kisses to Benoît, thank you for the experience.

Great discovery of the day: a renovated and very educational museum. Note a very friendly welcome and clear explanations from an enthusiast (doctor in archeology). The idea of presenting the museum's reserves as well as the researchers' work area to visitors is an undeniable plus. Thanks ! It is better to browse the museum before going to the site of the villa.

A recently renovated museum with beautiful collections and a very playful presentation! The activities of the Night of the Museums on Saturday May 14th were very nice: visit, creative workshop, Gallo-Roman aperitif... This museum, as well as the Gallo-Roman Villa and the educational trail that connects them, are worth the detour!

Perfect for young and old. The guide is captivating. The “excavation” workshop is great for kids.

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
