Webcam description

In English
Fertile plain of Trnava range of hills attracted man for ages to settle here. Existence of significant ancient commercial crossroads gave the town an impulse to be found. Across Trnava territory run two important roads, one from Czech to Hungary and another from Mediterranean to Poland. At their junction rose a market settlement. The first written reference about Trnava is from 1211. It is archbishop�s John of Esztergom act about donation of earnings of local Trnava church to members of Esztergom chapter. Trnava as the first town in Slovakia was granted by the Hungarian King Belo IV free royal privileges in 1238. The privilege subordinated the town directly to the King and assigned the town rights enabling its fast development. Former agricultural centre gradually become a centre of manufacture, trade and crafts. At the beginning of the 13th century the town built an extraordinarily large fortification that enclosed 60 ha area. The ramparts, gates and moats as well as a sophisticated system of water defence made from Trnava an impregnable fortress. Arrival of Clarist�s, Franciscan and Dominican Orders documents the transformation of the former settlement to the town. The Hungarian Kings supported the town�s chartered status with another granted privileges. Trnava�s significance backed also the fact that it was chosen by kings as a place of their meetings. The Hungarian King Charles Robert signed here with the Czech King John of Luxembourg a currency agreement in 1327. The Hungarian Emperor Luis I who often stayed and died in Trnava in 10.9.1382 signed here a friendly agreement with the Czech King Charles IV.

Trnava - jedno z najvýznamnejších miest Slovenska, leží v centre Trnavskej pahorkatiny, v nadmorskej výške 146 m, vo vzdialenosti 45 km od hlavného mesta Slovenskej republiky, Bratislavy. Na križovatke starých obchodných ciest využívaných od praveku, pri riečke Trnávka, bola založená kupecká osada Trnava. Prvá písomná zmienka o nej pochádza z roku 1211. Je to listina ostrihomského arcibiskupa Jána o donácii príjmov miestneho kostola ostrihomskej kapitule. Trnava bola prvým mestom na území dnešného Slovenska, ktoré dostalo výsady slobodného kráľovského mesta. Udelil jej ich v roku 1238 uhorský kráľ Belo IV. Privilégiom podriadil mesto priamo korune a vymedzil mu také práva, ktoré umožňovali rýchly rozvoj mesta. Pôvodné poľnohospodárske centrum sa začalo postupne meniť na centrum výroby, obchodu a remesiel.
