About Banská Bystrica
Banská Bystrica is a central Slovak town on the Hron river, known for its old square and as the centre of the 1944 Slovak National Uprising.
Banská Bystrica grew as a mining and trading town, and its historic centre sits around a large square with a town hall and merchant houses. In the medieval period the surrounding hills yielded silver and copper, and the town's wealth came from that work and from trade.
