The charming city of Kosice is situated at one of the historical cross roads of Europe, on the ancient trade routes between Southern Europe and the Baltic states. With its 300,000 inhabitants it is the second largest city of Slovakia.
From the original royal residence of the 12th century, the town grew into a walled town in the latter half of the 13th century. During the war-wracked periods of the 16th and 17th centuries Kosice became the strongest city fortress in the then Hungarian empire and was the headquarters of the Captain-general. Many of the city's churches also date from this period.
