Trnava

My second contribution is about a town in the heart of Europe, the name of which is Trnava. Trnava belongs to the most important towns in Slovak Republic. It is situated in the centre of Trnavas downs, 45 km far from the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava. The first written mention about the town on crossing trade roads dates back to 1211. Trnava was the first free royal town in Slovakia. After this, Trnava has been changing from an agricultural town to a centre of production and trade.
Trnava university was established in 1635 and at this time Trnava became an important university town. Nowadays there are two other universities expect for Trnava university. In the past, there were also typical townwalls around Trnava, which protected the town and inhabitants who lived there. These townwalls have remained up to now.

Nowadays, Trnava is an important historical town and an industrial centre. There are a lot of historical monuments, for example the town tower on the square street. The Townhall is near to it. Trnava is a seat of 12 churchies. It is a main symbol of Trnava. That is why Trnava has been called "Little Rome". Trnava is a municipal town with about 70000 inhabitants.
Sports are very popular among people. The most favourite sport is football. In my view only few sports clubs have so many fans like Spartak Trnava.
I think that Trnava is an interesting place for your trip and I hope that it fulfil your expectations.
