Prievidza, Town and administrative center in central-western Slovakia.
Prievidza extends across 43 square kilometers in the Trenčín Region, with six distinct boroughs and three connected villages under its administration.
The settlement received its first written mention as Preuigan in 1113, and later obtained royal free town status in 1383 from King Louis I.
The Saint Bartholomew Church displays Gothic architecture from the 14th century, standing next to a Marian column in the central district.
The town maintains twelve kindergartens, eight primary schools, and eight middle schools, including a branch of the University of Žilina.
The area contains numerous paleontological discoveries from the Paleolithic period, indicating early human presence in the Upper Nitra Basin.
