The medieval church of incredible beauty
In the ninth century, the Prince of Great Moravia Svyatopluk created the great Principality of Nitrian, whose lands stretched over long distances and included the territories of modern Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, partly Romania, western Ukraine, Poland, Austria and Germany. He ordered the creation of a diocese that would be the fief of the Pope. At this place arose a city that surrounded the diocese and called Nitra.
