Slovakia – Trvana, A Taste Of Tradition

This is the seventh largest city of Slovakia located on the river Trnavka.
The city is often referred to as the “Slovak Rome” thanks to many churches within its city walls. Trvana was a very important market settlement as it was the junction of two roads, one from Mediterranean to Poland and the second from Bohemia to Hungary. The market used to be held on Saturdays which was the reason for its name – Sobota (Saturday in Slovak).  Now every September they hold the yearly traditional Travana Fair as a memory of the successful market history of the oldest free royal town in Slovakia.
