Summary
| Description |
English: Banská Bystrica is a city in central w:en:Slovakia:Slovakia located on the Hron River in a long and wide valley encircled by the mountain chains of the Low Tatras, the Veľká Fatra, and the Kremnica Mountains. The present town was founded by German settlers, however it was built upon a former Slavic settlement. It obtained the municipal privileges of a free royal town of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1255. The copper mining town acquired its present picturesque look in the Late Middle Ages when the prosperous burghers built its central churches, mansions, and fortifications. It is the sixth most populous municipality in Slovakia and the capital of the ‘kraj’ (Banská Bystrica Region) and the ‘okres’ (Banská Bystrica District). It is also the home of Matej Bel University. As a historical city with an easy access to the surrounding mountains, Banská Bystrica is a popular winter and summer tourist destination. The Scotch Mist Gallery contains many photographs of historic buildings, monuments and memorials of Poland and beyond. |
