It is the capital of a ''[[Regions of Slovakia|kraj]]'' ([[Trnava Region]]) and of an ''[[Districts of Slovakia|okres]]'' ([[Trnava District]]). It was the seat of a [[Roman Catholic]] [[archbishopric]] ([[1541]]-[[1820]] and then again since [[1977]]). The city has a historic center. Because of the many churches within its city walls, Trnava has often been called "''parva Roma''", i. e. "Little [[Rome]]", or more recently, the "Slovak Rome". ==Name== The name of the city is derived from the [[Slovak language|Slovak]] word ''tŕnie'' ("thornbush") which characterized the river banks in the region. The Hungarian name (first mentioned in 1238 in the form of ''Zumbotel'') originates from the Hungarian word ''szombat'' ("Saturday"), referring to the weekly market fairs held on Saturdays. ==History== [[Image:Slovakia-Trnava-Trojicne namestie.JPG|left|thumb|250px|Saint Trinity Square]] Permanent settlements on the city's territory are known from the [[Neolithic]] period onwards. During the [[Middle Ages]], an important market settlement arose here at the junction of two important roads- from [[Bohemia]] to [[Hungary]] and from the [[Mediterranean]] to [[Poland]]. The first written reference to Trnava dates from [[1211]]. In [[1238]], Trnava was the first town in (present-day) Slovakia to be granted a town charter (civic privileges) by the king. The former agricultural center gradually became a center of manufacture, trade, and crafts. By the early [[13th century]], the [[Kingdom of Hungary|king of Hungary]] had invited numerous [[Carpathian Germans|Germans]] to settle in Trnava; this settlement increased after the [[Battle of Mohi|Tatar]] invasion in [[1242]]. At the turn of the [[13th century|13th]] and [[14th century|14th]] centuries, a part of Trnava was enclosed by very long city walls. The original [[Slovaks|Slovak]] market settlement and the Germans, however, stayed behind this wall. Trnava was also the place of many important negotiations: [[Charles I of Hungary|Charles I]], the king of Hungary, signed here a currency agreement with the Czech King [[John of Luxemburg]] in [[1327]], and King [[Louis I of Hungary|Louis I]] (who often stayed in the town and died there in [[1380]]) signed a friendship agreement with Emperor [[Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor|Charles IV]] there in [[1360]]. The temporary German majority in Trnava's population ceased in favour of the Slovaks during the campaigns undertaken by the Czech [[Hussites]] in the [[15th century]], who opposed Germans and made Trnava the center of the campaigns in southwestern [[Slovakia]] from [[1432]] to [[1435]]. The town, along with the rest of the territory of present-day [[Slovakia]], gained importance after the conquest of most of what is today [[Hungary]] by the [[Ottoman Empire]] in 1541, when Trnava became the see ([[1541]] &ndash; [[1820]]) of the [[Archbishop]]ric of [[Esztergom]] (before [[1541]] and after [[1820]] the see was the town of Esztergom, which was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in [[1543]]). The cathedrals of the archbishopric were the [[Saint John the Baptist]] Cathedral and the [[Saint Nicholas]] Cathedral in the town. Many ethnic Hungarians fleeing from the Turks moved to the town after [[1541]] from present-day Hungary. In the [[16th century|16th]] and especially the [[17th century]], Trnava was an important center of the [[Counter-Reformation]] in the [[Kingdom of Hungary]] (at the time largely identical with the territory of present-day Slovakia and a strip of western Hungary). The Archbishop [[Nicolas Oláh]] invited the [[Jesuits]] to Trnava in [[1561]] in order to develop the municipal school system. Subsequently, he had a seminary opened in [[1566]] and in [[1577]] Trnava’s priest [[Nicolas Telegdi]] founded a book-printing house in the town. The first Catholic Bible translation into Hungarian (based on the Latin [[Vulgate]]) was also completed in the town by the Jesuit [[György Káldi]] who was born there in 1573. The [[17th century]] was also characterized by many anti-[[Habsburg]] uprisings in the country &ndash; these revolts of [[Stephen Bocskay]], [[Gabriel Bethlen]], [[George I Rákóczi]], and [[Imre Thököly]] negatively affected Trnava’s life. On 26th December, in [[1704]] [[Francis II Rákóczi]]'s army suffered deciding defeat from [[Sigbert Heister]] general's imperial army at the border of Trnava. The Jesuit [[Trnava University]] ([[1635]]-[[1777]]), the only university of the Kingdom of Hungary at that time, was founded by Archbishop [[Péter Pázmány]]. Founded to support the Counter-Reformation, it soon became a center of Slovak education and literature, since most of the teachers, one half of the students and the majority of the town’s inhabitants were Slovaks. Pázmány himself was instrumental in promoting the usage of the Slovak instead of the Czech language and had his work "''Isteni igazságra vezető kalauz''" (Guide to the Truth of God) and several of his sermons translated into the local vernacular. From the late [[18th century]] Trnava became a center of the literary and artistic [[Slovaks|Slovak]] National Revival. The first standard codification of the [[Slovak language]] (by the [[priest]] [[Anton Bernolák]] in [[1787]]) was based on the Slovak dialect used in the region of Trnava. During the [[1848 Revolution]] [[Richard Debaufre Guyon|Richard Guyon ]]'s army fought here with an [[Austrian Empire|Austrian]] army on 14th December, in [[1848]]. The importance of the town decreased in the early [[19th century]], when the university was moved to [[Buda]] (today: [[Eötvös Loránd University]]) and the see of the archbishopric moved back to Esztergom. It increased however partly again after [[1844]], when Trnava was connected with [[Bratislava]] through the first railway line in the Kingdom of Hungary, which was a horse railway (steam engines were used since [[1872]]). The railway connection launched a modernization of the town, which started with the erection of a big sugar factory, a malt-house and of the Coburgh’s factory (later referred to as ''Trnavské automobilové závody'', i.e. "Trnava Car Factory"). The [[St. Adalbert Association]] (''Spolok sv. Vojtecha''), founded in 1870 when the Slovak foundation ([[Matica slovenská]]) was prohibited by the Hungarian authorities, kept up the Slovak national conscience at a time of strong [[Magyarisation]] in Hungary. In the 19th but mainly in the early 20th century the town grew behind its city walls and most of the wall was demolished in the 19th century. Until [[World War II]], Trnava was also home to a sizable [[Jew]]ish minority. Their freedom to move was restricted as early as in [[1495]] and from [[1539]]-[[1800]], and 12 Jews were burned publicly in [[1870]] during a [[pogrom]]. After the creation of [[Czechoslovakia]] in [[1918]], Trnava was one of the most industrialized cities of Slovakia. In [[1977]], by a decision of [[Pope Paul VI]], Trnava became the see of a separate [[Archdiocese of Bratislava-Trnava|Slovak archbishopric]] (although the seat in 2008 moved to Bratislava the city still remains a seat of its [[Archdiocese of Trnava|own archbishopric]]). With the establishment of this archbishopric, Slovakia became independent of Hungary again also in terms of church administration for the first time in centuries. After the establishment of Slovakia ([[1993]]), Trnava became the capital of the newly created [[Trnava Region]] in [[1996]]. The French car manufacturer [[PSA Peugeot Citroën|PSA]] began construction of a large automobile plant in Trnava in [[2003]]. ==Geography== Trnava lies at an altitude of {{convert|146|m|ft|0}} [[above mean sea level|above sea level]] and covers an area of {{convert|71.535|km2|sqmi|1|lk=on}}.<ref name="statistics">{{cite web | title = Municipal Statistics | publisher = Statistical Office of the Slovak republic | date = | url = http://www.statistics.sk/mosmis/eng/run.html | accessdate = 2008-01-21}}</ref> It is located in the [[Danubian Lowland]] on the Trnávka river, around {{convert|45|km|mi|0}} north-east of [[Bratislava]], {{convert|50|km|mi|0}} west of [[Nitra]] and around {{convert|70|km|mi|0}} from the [[Czech Republic|Czech]] border.

The [[Renaissance]] (16th century) added a town tower to Trnava’s silhouette. Nicolas Oláh ordered the erection of the Seminary and Archbishop’s Palace. [[Peter Bornemisza]] and [[Huszár Gál]], the leading personalities of the [[reformation]] in the Kingdom of Hungary, were active in Trnava for a short time. The town ramparts were rebuilt to a Renaissance fortification as a reaction to the approaching Turkish danger from the south. The 17th century was characterized by the construction of the Pualinian Church that bears badges of [[Silesian Renaissance]]. Trnava was gradually redesigned to [[Baroque]]. The erection of the [[St. John the Baptist Cathedral (Trnava)|St. John the Baptist Church]] and of the university campus launched a building rush that continued with the reconstruction of the Franciscan and Clarist’s complexes. Builders and artists called to build the university also participated in improvements of the burgher architecture. The [[Marian and Holy Trinity columns|Holy Trinity Statue]] and the group of statues of [[St. Joseph]], the [[Ursulinian]] and Trinitarian Church and Monastery are of recent construction. The District hospital was built [[1824]]. The building of the theatre started in May [[1831]] and the first performance was played at Christmas. Both of the Trnava [[synagogue]]s, historizing structures with oriental motifs, date back to the 19th century. ==Demographics== According to the last census from 2001, Trnava had 70,286 inhabitants, while according to the estimate from 2006, Trnava has 68,466 inhabitants with an average age of 37.3 years.
