Slovakia

This is a panorama of the recently restored Bratislava Castle (Bratislavský hrad) on a warm summer evening.

Trencín in north-western Slovakia near the Czech border is the capital of the region with the same name. The Trencín Castle dating from the 11th century overlooks the city, and offers vertigo-inducing views over the rooftops, and has a rather impressive collection of medieval artwork by local artists.
