BASILICA OF ST EMERAM

NITRA

SLOVAKIA

The original romanesque cathedral of the oldest bishopric in the central Europe that is an integral part of the castle of Nitra.

"Only God saves us from being afraid of the world and from anxiety before the emptiness of life.”

- Benedict XVI

I came here very late in the evening and the castle was already closed. But it was an impressive place anyway, place standing at the roots of the Slovak christianity, more than a thousand years ago.
