...from the restaurant "Fatima", located just under the walls of the Trencin castle, you can get a wonderful view on both the castle and the city of Trencin...

The Trencin castle, situated on a rocky hill above the Trencin city, was in 1790 destroyed by fire. Its reconstruction started after 1945. In March 2003, a stone part of its western fortification (1100 tons) falled down. It´s a national cultural memorial.

The City of Trencin, Slovakia is in the center of the Povazie region. It is located in western Slovakia of the central Vah river valley near the Czech border, around 120 km from Bratislava. It is the administrative center of the Trencin Regional Government Unit. It has a famous medieval castle, standing on a rock above the city.

Thanks to its advantageous location, Trencin is an important commercial, economic, cultural and sport center. It is also known as the “City of fashion“. Numerous institutions and companies have their headquarters and branches located in Trencin. Expositions and fairs also have a long lasting tradition in Trencin. Current population estimates for Trencin is 60,000.

Together with Nitra and Bratislava, Trencin belongs to the oldest Slovak cities, chronicled as early as in the 11th century. Its strategic location near three Carpathian mountain passes on the crossroads of commercial routes, has always determined the character of the city as a significant landmark. As early as in the ancient times, the famous Jasper Road used by the Etruscan, Greek, and later Roman merchants to transport precious jasper from the Baltic region, was crossing Trencin. The site of Trencin has been inhabited since time immemorial. Trencin Castle, a typical medieval fortified castle is situated high on a rock above the city. Trencin is best known for a Roman inscription on the rock below the Trencin Castle dating from 179 AD. It denotes the site as Laugaricio and is the most northern evidence of the presence of Roman soldiers in central Europe.

Hello Ivana,

Hey Ivana!
Wow! Great Picture! The colors suit together and the atmosphere is very good! The lines of the fence on the right are making a good foreground! The edge is simple and clean and suits the photo very well! Nice, round view on the castle!

Phil

Ahoj Ivanka,
Toto je velmi zaujimava fotka. Zelezne mreze restauracie pripominaju padacie mreze na brane hradu, tak isto aj slnecniky pripominaju hradne veze. Len skoda, ze si nic nepovedala o studni lasky ku ktorej sa viaže legenda o Omarovi a Fatime (ked je Fatima aj meno tejto restauracie).
Maj sa.
Christian

Hi Ivana
Beautiful POV with the perspective of the railing and the parasols and the castle which dominates the scene.
In fact, there are two subjects in the photo but everything works perfectly together thanks to the unity of colors.
Amicalement
