Bratislava Castle as a witness of rich human past is also the symbol of Bratislava and Slovakia, affirmed by its location on reverse of Slovak eurocoins. The strategic location of the castle hill first noticed people of boleráz culture about four and a half millennia ago. They left us broad picture of their settlement, with diverse objects, mostly ceramics. Notable is the clay foot discovered in northern terrace of the castle areal. Earlier research suggested a Celtic presence on site (Biatec coins, pottery) but the breakthrough came with recent discoveries. Archaeologists from Bratislava Municipal Institute of Memorials Protection found in the courtyard and northern terrace remains of buildings with Roman character, with pavements and plasters. They were used by local Celtic elite, confirming the Bratislava Celtic oppidum. Unique discoveries were the golden Biatec, and historically first Nonnoses, as well as silver coins in the floor of one of the objects. A rare finding is a bell of Roman origin from the northern terrace. Systematic archaeological research on the castle site began in the 1950s together with the reconstruction of the castle. Professor Alfred Piffl led the initial survey in the years 1953–55. He focused on architectural research for future castle restoration. Research in the years 1958-68 was led by Belo Polla and Tatiana Štefanovičová, later with Andrej Fiala. This research defined castle areal as the Great Moravian settlement and seat of the first Árpáds. The most significant findings were remnants of the church buildings, e.g. the Great Moravian basilica with adjacent churchyard on the eastern terrace and abundant material evidence, including jewellery. Later research added reconstruction of the Bratislava Castle in the Middle Ages and modern times. The most recent archaeological research by the Bratislava Municipal Institute of Memorials Protection began in 2008 (by Branislav Lesák, Margaréta Musilová, Jozef Kováč, Branislav Resutík, Andrej Vrtel). May 28, 2011 will mark the sad anniversary, 200 years since the fire that destroyed the sumptuous Baroque reconstruction of the Maria Theresa era and began 150 years of its decline.

Construction of the D4 / R7 highway bypass around Bratislava has resulted in more than 460 graves being uncovered in the area of Podunajské Biskupice, with the site being dated from the 8th century, during the Avar Khaganate period. Other valuable items, such as coins from the years 771-793, have also been found in what has become the most significant archaeological discovery in recent times.
The size and value of this Avaric site from the 8th century is the largest archaeological discovery in Slovakia dating from the Avar Khaganate period, which has taken place in the last 40 years, said head of archaeological research at the site, Milan Horňák.
The rarest finds during the five months of the archaeological survey include a coin from the time of the reign of King Charles the Great. The coin found is from 771-793 and is a European rarity, said Horňák, adding that until this discovery, only 14 such preserved coins were known worldwide.
A number of silver-plated bronze objects, such as decorated belt buckles, have been discovered in the excavated graves, with almost every single grave having a decorated vessel as a gift for the afterlife. Once the archaeological works are completed, the artefacts will be given to the Slovak National Museum, with an exhibit being made available to the public at a later stage.
The D4 / R7 Bratislava bypass will create new, interconnected highways and express roads through and around the southern and eastern boroughs of Bratislava.

Figure Skating is among the oldest sports in Slovakia and it is also one of the most successful. The history of skating in the country began several millennia ago, documented by more than 100 artefacts identified as bone skates which have been found in Slovakia. The best-preserved bone skate was found in Vesele near Piestany. It is estimated to be about 5 thousand years old. The skate was identified by G.V.Childe, a British archaeologist, and J. Dulka, a Slovak specialist and it is housed in the Spa Museum in Piestany.
The Figure Skating Club was founded in Bratislava in 1871. The regular training process started only after the artificial ice rink was built in 1941. Jozef Sturm was a devoted official and teacher of Figure Skating. He won the Slovak national championship in 1941, 1942, 1943 and 1944. The first generation of slovak Figure Skaters grew under his leadership: Skákala, Mauer, Lojkovic, Landl and many others.
And the famous era of Bratislava Figure Skating Began. Such Skaters as Mr. Divin, Nepela, Filc, Sabovcik, miss Golonkova, Grozajova, Drakova and Bezakova or Dancers brother and sister Skotnicki and Pair Wlachowska grew up there. Miss Kramperova, Docekalova and Pair Suchankova-Dolezal and many other practiced there as well. These Skaters won altogether 14 gold medals from World or European Championships, many silver and bronze medals and three Olympic medals.
Something Old, Something New: Nîmes' Museum of Romanity
Romanity! It’s Roman humanity, and there’s a shiny new museum about just that in Nîmes: The Museum of Romanity is opening on June 2, and I got a sneak preview (shared in this clip). I’ve never seen southern Europeans scramble so hard — because in a few weeks, it’s the grand opening.
Nîmes is famed for its ancient ruins but, until now, it had no appropriate museum. This is big news. Wandering the unfinished rooms of this museum, I was thinking about how Europe loves to invest in — and share — its heritage, and how it’s the world’s heritage, too. When you pay $10 to go into a great museum, remember what it takes to make that experience possible.

SLOVAKIA - WikiVidi Documentary
Slovakia , officially the Slovak Republic , is a landlocked country in central Europe. It is bordered by the Czech Republic and Austria to the west, Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east and Hungary to the south. Slovakia's territory spans about 49000 km2 and is mostly mountainous. The population is over 5 million and comprises mostly ethnic Slovaks. The capital and largest city is Bratislava. The official language is Slovak. The Slavs arrived in the territory of present-day Slovakia in the 5th and 6th centuries. In the 7th century, they played a significant role in the creation of Samo's Empire and in the 9th century established the Principality of Nitra. In the 10th century, the territory was integrated into the Kingdom of Hungary. After World War I and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Slovaks and Czechs established Czechoslovakia . A separate Slovak Republic existed in World War II as a client state of Nazi Germany. In 1945, Czechoslovakia was re-established...

St Elizabeth's Cathedral (Dom Svatej Alzbety) in Kosice, Slovakia
The Cathedral of St Elisabeth is a Gothic cathedral in Košice.
It is Slovakia's largest church and one of the easternmost Gothic cathedrals in Europe.
The record of the existence of Kassa (modern day Košice), dating from 1230, is connected with the existence of the rectory church. In the process of the settlement's transformation from a rural community into a town, all its periods of successes and failures have been reflected in St Elisabeth's Cathedral.
According to historical and archaeological sources, the present-day cathedral was built on the place of an earlier church also consecrated to St Elisabeth of Hungary. It was referred to in documents of 1283 and 1290, in which the bishop of Eger Andrew II exempted Košice parish from the dean's sphere of jurisdiction.
St Elisabeth Cathedral is the largest Church in Slovakia with a total area of 1,200 square metres and capacity of more than 5000 people. It is the main church in the Košice Archdiocese. It is one of the most eastern Gothic cathedrals in Europe.
The church is 60 metres long and 36 metres wide; the height of the north tower is 59 metres. The central nave is 24 m long and aisles are 12 m long. Construction of the church influenced builders' activity in surrounding towns such as Prešov, Bardejov, Sabinov, Rožňava and it also influenced construction of other churches in Poland and Transylvania.
The Gothic Cathedral of Košice consists of the choir with a five-side chavet, five naves, two towers, a level sacristy at the north side, and two chapels and antechapel at the south side. There is a unique inside layout of the church, where the central nave and four aisles are crossed in the middle by one transept of the same height and width as the central nave which altogether create a Greek cross.
This big central space rises in the centre of the church and together with three equal exterior gables with richly decorated portals belong to the acme of medieval stone work of art in the Middle Europe. The complex of the cathedral and adjacent buildings – St Michael Chapel and Urban Tower were declared as Cultural Heritage Monuments in 1970.
In 1970, St Elisabeth Cathedral was declared a National Cultural Monument. All the profiled architectural features (pinnacles, gargoyles, gadroons) had been either destroyed by the rain water or were unmounted. The stone decoration at the north portal was very much affected by weathering. Cathedral reconstruction started again in September 1978 with detailed architectural documentation. After a short break, works started again in 1984.
In the meantime authorities started with the complex solution of Košice centrum monuments innovation, which was in 1983 declared as the biggest town monuments reservation in Slovakia. One of the factors that contributed to higher care of church was excluding motor-vehicle traffic from the main street in 1984 and tram traffic in 1986.
During the reconstruction it was decided to use a method of a maintaining the stage from the big reconstruction at the end of the 19th century. First the roof of the main and side aisles was repaired where the ceramic coloured enamel tiles were changed, but with the original pattern from the 19th century. The flèche was reconstructed and it was necessary to add 264 pieces of lead decorations.
From 1980–92 the most damaged part of the chapel and sacristy were reconstructed. The works were done by the Polish company Polskie Pracownie Konserwacji Zabytków from Vratislav. It was necessary to construct the new crown gardoons, gargoyles and pinnacles – according to the accessible documents and projects from the town's archival collection. Similarly the staircase towers were done. The gargoyles' reconstruction was done according to original Medieval patterns which are retained in the museums. This reconstruction included the interior repair of a chapel.
In 1992–95 the south façade, including windowpanes was done. The Sigimund's tower was under consistent renovation in 1995–97 when a rococo copper helmit was replaced. Cleaned and gilded plumbing decorations are originals from 1775. In 2008 reconstruction of the Rákóczi crypt was finished and in 2009 reconstruction of the most precious north portal was finished.
Today there is renovation work at the exterior of the north façade of the church and the west portal and interior of the crossed north aisle. The Matthias tower is awaiting reconstruction.
The base of the space composition is formed by the central nave with five bays which is divided by the cross aisle with one bay in axis. Apparent substitution of an idea are four subordinate spaces, inset into the ground plan of the building and inserted between the arms of main and cross aisle. In the first decades probably the enclosure walls were built and the main outline of space disposition was finished.

독일 박물관서 보물 도난…범인 '오리무중'
독일 동부의 한 박물관에서 가치를 환산할 수 없을 정도로 귀중한 보물들이 도난당했습니다. 현지시간 25일, 2명의 도둑이 창문을 통해 박물관에 침입했습니다. 유리를 깨부수고는 전시된 보석류 3세트 등을 훔쳐 달아났는데요. 마침 박물관은 인근에서 난 불 때문에 전력 공급이 끊겨 불이 꺼진 상태였습니다. 해당 박물관 측은 도난당한 보물들이 18세기에 만들어진 것으로 역사적, 문화적 가치를 금액으로 환산할 수 없을 정도라고 밝혔는데요. 경찰이 수사에 나섰지만 아직 도둑들의 행방은 오리무중이라고 합니다.

Athens Vacation Travel Video Guide • Great Destinations
Whoever visits the Greek capital, takes a pilgrimage to the fountain of European culture. The city’s most famous building is the Citadel 150 meters above sea level, the Acropolis, which is garlanded by the golden pillars of the Parthenon. The statues, reliefs and frieses of Acropolis Museum and the Archeological Museum of Athens show us the classical beauty ideal and the perfect sense of proportion. The Agora tells us about the life of ancient Athens, while the Plaka with its narrow roads introduces us to a vivid, Eastern bazaar. In front of the parlament, funnily dressed guards give guard of honor. The city can be best seen from the Likavitos mountain, and the sunset is also the most beautiful from here. From Athens we can take a trip to the port of Pireus, to the monument of the battle at Marathon, to the ruins of the sacred area of Eleusis, to the Korinthos canal, and to the sunny holiday resorts of the Attican Riviera.

St James' Ossuary in Bratislava
The solution to full cemeteries in Bratislava during the middle ages was simple: dig up the deceased, sift through the skeletons, throw away the small bones, and put the big ones in a separate place, called an ossuary, ready for future resurrections.
This was a reasonably common practice in crowded medieval graveyards, however very few remain today. This makes the example recently uncovered in central Bratislava all the more unique.
Radio Slovakia International's Gavin Shoebridge and Martina Šimkovičová met with Ivo Štassel from the Office of Protected Landmarks next to a wall filled with skulls to learn more.

Devín Castle In Slovakia - commercial spot
Devín Castle standing on a massive rock hill above the confluence of the Danube and Morava is an unusually impressive landmark. It is part of the oldest history of Slovakia.
Its ground plan is very irregular. Today we enter the castle through the western Moravian Gate. The southern gate protected by a pair of semicircular bastions was built in the 15th century on an older Great Moravian rampart.
Close behind the gate and on the right side of the path is a precious archaeological monument from the Roman period of Devíns history. The ground plan of the remains of a bulky stone building from the 4th century suggests a Classical tomb.
The path divides into two on the ridge of the castle hill. The left branch leads to the place where a Great Moravian church stood in the 9th century. The first branch of the path leads to the conserved ruins of the middle and upper parts of the medieval castle. In the first half of the 15th century the Gothic Garay palace with two stories was built and the Renaissance palace and fortifications were added in the 16th century.
Some vaulted spaces of this palace are today used for exhibitions of the Bratislava City Museum. The 55 metres deep castle well is on the courtyard of the middle castle. Near the well is also a terrace with view of the abandoned amphitheatre, the Danube and the mountain Braunsberg in Austria.
In the wonderful setting above the bicolour confluence of the Danube and Morava, an elegant tower with battlements stands out. It is the Virgin tower. A bridge over a moat and stairs lead to the top platform with remnants of a guard tower from the 13th century rebuilt in the 15th century with panoramic view of the surroundings.
Performances of historic fencing are organised during tourist season. Visitors can also try throwing the javelin or axe or shooting of bow. Boats leave for Bratislava or Hainburg in Austria from a small port situated below the castle. A short boat trip up the river Morava is also possible.
Access: by car and public transport below the castle, by boat from Bratislava and Hainburg to the port Devín, then walking about 15 minutes
The upper castle has been closed to the public since 2008 but the remaining areas of the castle grounds are open to the public.
