Completely unexpected wonderful experience. Thanks to a coffee taken at the sports bar we had the pleasure of having Mr. MAYOR as a guide who gave us a beautiful morning. Castello ok, SYNAGOGUE, THEATER which is a real unparalleled gem and to rightly finish the JEWISH CEMETERY, all lavishly illustrated by our occasional exceptional companion. Wonderful morning. Resulting in a recommended restaurant. Highly recommended

Gonzaga Castle, inserted in the context of the historic center, gives a bit of mystery on a day with a clouded sky. Listening carefully you can hear carts advance slowly and artisans at work, peasants and traders repeating the verse on the street and the clatter of arms of soldiers on guard, somewhere smells and perfumes of taverns ...

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.
