Where to go on a trip Komárno

One of the greatest historical monuments of the town of Komárno is its anti-Turkish fortress. Every year, it is visited by many tourists from all over the world. It is a unique fortification structure of the most extensive fortress system in Central Europe, which, in addition to our territory, is also located on the territory of the Republic of Hungary.

Come and see for yourself what a vast structure awaits you when visiting the Podunajská nížina. Pevnosť Komárno fortress was built in two periods. The oldest part from 1546 was built on the foundations of an older castle. The new fortress was completed roughly more than 100 years later, specifically in 1658. The Komárňanský pevnostný systém (Komárno Fortress System) is the largest fortification system at the confluence of the Dunaj and Váh rivers in the town of Komárno. The complex is open to the general public year-round. The easiest access to it is on foot from the town center, or by car from the parking lot on Hradná ulica street.

Stará pevnosť consists of five bastions, two courtyards, casemates, and spaces serving the garrison. It also features a moat. The fortress has only one gate, which leads directly into its premises. It is named after King Ferdinand. Nová pevnosť  was created during the time of raids by Ottoman Empire soldiers. This fortress seamlessly connected to the old one. It consists of five bastions, a moat, counterscarps, covering curtains, and the fortress's bastions. Both fortresses were elements of a defensive line meant to prevent the penetration of Ottoman soldiers into the Stredné Považie region. After the raids ended, the fate of the Komárno fortress was sealed by earthquakes in 1763 and 1783. Since the financial resources required for repairs would have been vast, the military decided to abandon the fortress. During the reign of Joseph II, the land was donated to the town, and the buildings were auctioned off. The fortress retained its military function until 2003, when it became the property of the town of Komárno. The town strives to make full use of its potential, which is why guided tours are offered to visitors here.

Did you know that the outer perimeter of the entire system, including the fortress, has a total length of 15.5 km?
