Žilina, Regional administrative center in northern Slovakia
The city stands at the intersection of three rivers - Váh, Kysuca, and Rajčanka - surrounded by mountains of the Malá Fatra range.
Established in the 13th century as a Slavic trading post, Žilina received royal town privileges in 1321 from King Charles I Robert of Anjou.
The Žilinská kniha from 1378 contains the earliest known written text in Slovak language and remains a crucial European linguistic document.
The railway station functions as a central junction connecting international routes, with direct lines to Prague, Bratislava, and neighboring countries.
The Budatín Castle houses the only museum collection dedicated to the craft of wire masters, displaying intricate metalwork creations from past centuries.
