Specification
Trenčín is the most significant center of central Považie and the seat of the Trenčín self-governing region. It is dominated by the unique silhouette of a medieval castle that grew on a rock with a preserved unique Roman inscription from the year 179 AD. The castle tower is associated with the name of the most famous owner of the castle, the oligarch Matúš Čák, who controlled his extensive estate from it at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. The medieval town nestled against the castle hill developed on an ancient trade route along the Váh River. It grew around a road expanded into an irregular market square. After being granted city privileges in 1412, the inhabitants built fortifications during the 15th century. A remnant of it is the Lower Gate, which, along with the Gothic parish Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary standing on the slope above the town and the Baroque church and monastery of St. Francis Xavier in the square, belongs to the traditional historical landmarks of the former county seat. The preserved historical core of the town was declared a heritage reserve in 1987.
