Nádvorie Európy
Nádvorie Európy is an original urban planning project located in Southern Slovakia, in Komárno. The town center literally glows with colors and shapes. It entices all your senses, and you do not know where to look first. It is a mix of architecture, building styles, and history of specific European countries. Would you like to get to know Europe but are afraid of flying, feel cramped in a car, and long train journeys cause you panic? Then come to Komárno; here you have Europe in the palm of your hand.
The foundation stone was laid in February 1999. On an area of 6,500 m2, you will find more than 40 buildings here that represent individual countries of the Old Continent. Various colors, shapes, and sizes of windows, towers and turrets, bay windows as well as diverse staircases, fountains, and greenery in places. Buildings of Wales, Transylvania, the Vatican, Iceland, or Greenland next to each other. Not far from them are statues of patrons and monarchs Matej Korvín, Mária Terézia, Ľudovít Veľký z Anjou, or Žigmund Luxemburský. Does it seem like a rather wild mix to you? On first hear, it certainly is. However, this place will completely charm you on your very first visit.
Walk across the paved square, have a coffee in front of one of the local cafés, or sit on a bench by the Milénium fountain. Let the children run around and enjoy the atmosphere of the place to the fullest. What might seem disturbing and incompatible to you at first glance will after a while feel like a perfect interplay of details of individual styles that represent almost all European countries.
This architectural masterpiece also carries a strong message. It points out that even though every country is different, we are close to each other. Even though we have different opinions, we share the same values. We want to be united without losing our uniqueness in the process. We are all destined to cooperate with each other, strengthen cohesion, and focus on the same goals.
Come and enjoy the unique view of the one-of-a-kind Nádvorie Európy. Both young and old will like it here, and artistic souls will gather inspiration for their work in the courtyard. Let yourself be captivated by the atmosphere and enjoy sweet doing-nothing while sitting on the benches. Watch the buildings, the people, and perceive your surroundings as you do so. It will charge you with a special energy from which you will draw for a long time after returning home. Set aside at least a few days for your visit.
