Slovakia

Slovakia is linked to this legacy through ancient Nitra, the seat of Princes Pribina and Svatopluk and the site of the first bishopric. Devín Castle, at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers, remains a symbol of Christian and Slavic history. Archaeological finds in Bojná prove the existence of a sophisticated Christian culture even before the mission’s arrival. This tradition remains a pillar of Slovak identity and is enshrined in the preamble of the national constitution.
