Trnava, Medieval university town in western Slovakia.

The city extends along the Trnávka river with numerous Gothic churches, Renaissance buildings, and extensive fortification walls from the 13th century.

King Belo IV granted Trnava its town privileges in 1238, making it the first Slovak settlement to receive such recognition in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary.

The University of Trnava, established in 1635, contributed to education in the region through its theological studies and printing press activities.

The central Tourist Information Center on Trojičné Square provides maps, accommodation assistance, and guided tours through the historical district.

The town contains thirteen church buildings within its medieval walls, earning recognition as an important religious center in Central Europe.
