Recommendations
Nitra Castle
At the top of the old town and defended by 16th-century ramparts and bastions, Nitra castle is where the city was born. In the early middle ages a Slavic tribe built its stronghold here on top of a Bronze Age and the city flourished around it. Rather than a single building the castle is more of a historic precinct. And with meandering cobblestone alleys, many centuries of heritage and vantage points over Nitra, it’s awesome to uncover on foot. The cathedral and episcopal palace are both up here, along with the Diocese Museum and an archaeological exhibition inside the 17th-century gun emplacements.
St Emmeram’s Cathedral
The marquee attraction within the castle walls is the cathedral, which is a compound of different buildings. In this ground is a 14th-century Upper Church, a rotunda from the 11th century and a Lower Church dating to the 17th century. They were all given a uniform Baroque exterior when then the Lower Church was completed. In the Gothic upper church, see the sumptuous altar to Christ the Redeemer above a bewitching relief of the entombment by the 17th-century Austrian sculptor Hans Pernegger. Also here is a bewitching 14th-century fresco depicting a dying Virgin Mary in the presence of the apostles.
Pribina Square, Nitra
After passing under the County Hall you’ll be in the peaceful Upper Town, which came together down the slope from the castle in medieval times. This was protected by an outer ring of fortifications, long since dismantled. The Upper Town has bending cobblestone streets and Baroque and Classical mansions and palaces and sights like the Great Seminary, Franciscan Monastery and the city’s beloved Corgoň sculpture. On Pribina Square is a modern statue of the namesake the Slavic prince Pribina, who was the first ruler of Slavic origin to be baptised and build a Christian church.
