Komárno (Szlovákia)

Komárno is a town in Slovakia, in the Komáromi district of Nitra district, at the confluence of the Danube and the Vág-Danube. It is also called Észak-Komárom, Oreg-Komárom, and some people call it Slovak-Komárom, to distinguish it from the former southern part of the city, which is now an independent settlement in Hungary called Komárom (or South-Komárom). Komárom is the seat of the district and the third most populous city in the Nyitra district after Nyitra and Érsekújvár. It is the most important cultural and political center of Hungarians in Slovakia. The city is an important machine industry (shipbuilding) center as well as a busy Danube cargo port. It is connected to Komárom in Hungary by road by the Erzsébet Bridge, and by rail by the Komárom Railway Bridge. It used to be a road and rail border crossing, but after the accession of Slovakia and Hungary to the Schengen agreement, this role ceased.

The city of Komárno was founded after the conquest, in the 11th century, although the right bank of the Danube was already inhabited by the Romans. During the time of the Kingdom of Hungary, it was the seat of the county of Komárom, and it received city status on April 1, 1265. The city functioned as a final fortress during the Turkish subjugation, the construction of the Komárom fortress system began after the unsuccessful Turkish siege in 1594. The fortresses also played an important role in the 1848-49 War of Independence, during which three battles took place between the troops of the Habsburg Empire and Hungary. After the First World War, the border of the newly founded Czechoslovakia was drawn in the middle of the Danube, thus separating the northern and southern parts of the city. Due to the Trianon border, it lost almost half of its 3,000 km² catchment area, which significantly set it back in development. The development of the city accelerated only during the decades of socialism, through industrialization.

Komárno has also been a university town since 2004, where the János Selye University was founded as the first Hungarian-language university in Slovakia. Its main attraction is the fortress system surrounding the city, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
