Žilinský hrad, Archaeological site in District of Žilina, Slovakia.
The remains of a circular structure were discovered during construction work in 2008, revealing foundations dating back to medieval times.
The first written record of Žilinský hrad appears in 1318, when Bishop John of Nitra mentioned a castellan named Joanes de Zoldvár et Zelena.
Archaeological excavations at the site near the Parish Church uncovered artifacts from the 15th century, providing insights into medieval Slovak architecture.
The archaeological site is accessible through marked paths from the center of Žilina, with informational panels explaining its historical significance.
The circular foundation structure differs from typical European castle designs, suggesting it might have been part of Žilina's city fortifications.
