 | | Nitra is one of the oldest settlements in Slovakia. |
 | | From the ninth century it was the seat of the Princes of Nitra and the sovereigns of the Great-Moravian Duchy and later of a successor to the Hungarian throne. |
 | | Nitra’s further development was facilitated with a charter issued by Béla IV in 1248, which granted the guests and local burgesses – the defenders of the castle against Tartars – new liberties and privileges of a free Royal town. |
