Slovakia

Walking through centuries of cities and towns

An excellent gift for your family members or friends may be this book. Written in perfect English. It also has 311 color and 19 black and white pictures.

This book grew out of the authors' desire to familiarize readers with the history of 27 settlements in Slovakia and to inspire interest in the preservation of highly precious and appealing historical and cultural monuments, whose beauty we may not fully realize or perceive in everyday life. Some of these once-busy towns now live peaceful lives of provincial seats, but they reflect values hidden in monuments of ancient history. They justly deserve words of admiration and recognition, for their works of art may rival the monuments of perhaps better-known cities abroad.

Nonetheless, the value of material basis of our cultural heritage was revealed and appreciated when two historic centers-Banská Štiavnica and Spiš Castle and its surroundings-were recorded by the UNESCO on the List of Monuments of World Cultural and Natural Heritage.
The authors were determined to compromise between an illustrated short history and tourists' guide. Each entry, therefore, incorporates brief general information (elevation above sea level, geographical latitude and longitude, topography, population, accommodation and means of access), followed by a short history and description of the town and the municipal arms, and a selection of the finest examples of cultural monuments. Each entry is concluded with a suggested sightseeing tour, complemented with the town plan and a collection of the main points of interest in the surroundings. The splendid works of architecture and unique works of art are documented with period pictures and color photos.
