The ancient Hungarian town is divided not only by the Danube but also by a border, because its northern part, which includes its historic center, was attached from Hungary to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1920. The foundation of the town dates back to the foundation of Hungary. Its fortress played a key role in protecting the country against the Turkish invaders, who could never capture it. One of the most modern and impregnable fortification systems of Europe was created here, which strongly resisted the Austrian siege during the Hungarian War of Independence between 1848 and 1849, even after its suppression by the Russian intervention forces. The amnesty obtained by giving up the fortress ensured safety for thousands of Hungarian patriots, including the playwright Madách Imre, who could later write The tragedy of man. The town was once the seat of Komárom-Esztergom County, and is widely known from the novel The Man with the Golden Touch written by the Hungarian writer Jókai Mór, which is a must read for students in Hungary. It still has a Hungarian majority and is the seat of the Hungarian University of Slovakia named after Selye János, the first scientist to demonstrate the existence of biological stress.

895
The alliance of the seven Hungarian tribes took possession of the then largely uninhabited Carpathian Basin. Until then, the sparse Slavic population of the north-western Carpathians had lived under Moravian rule for a few decades after the collapse of the Avar Khaganate in the early 9th century.
after 895
It was in the possession of Ketel, a Kabar tribal leader. The Kabar tribes joined the Hungarian confederation when they left the Khazar Khaganate. Alap-Tolma, the son of Ketel erected a motte-and-bailey between the Danube and the Vág rivers, and it was named Komárom.

Mongol Invasion
Little more...
1241-1242
The hordes of the Mongol Empire invaded Hungary and almost completely destroyed it. One third to one half of the population was destroyed. The Mongols also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Muhi and they could not hunt down the king. After their withdrawal, King Béla IV reorganized Hungary. He allowed the feudal lords to build stone castles because they were able to successfully resist the nomadic Mongols. The vast majority of stone castles were built after this. The king called in German, Vlach (Romanian) and Slavic settlers to replace the destroyed population.
1265
King Béla IV granted the settlement town status and privileges.

The extinction of the House of Árpád
Little more...
1301
The House of Árpád, the first Hungarian royal dynasty, died out with the death of King Andrew III. Hungary was ruled by oligarchs, the most powerful of whom was Csák Máté, whose main ally was the Aba family. King Charles I (1308-1342), supported by the Pope, eventually emerged as the most prominent of the contenders for the Hungarian throne. But it took decades to break the power of the oligarchs.
November 3, 1317
Charles I of Hungary took the town from the Hungarian oligarch Csák Máté after a two months siege. Afterwards, the king did not attack Csák Máté until his death in 1321, but then his castles surrendered to Charles I one after another.

Battle of Mohács and the splitting of Hungary into two parts
Little more...
1526
Sultan Suleiman I launched a war against Vienna, instigated by the French. Ferdinand I, Duke of Austria, was the brother-in-law of King Louis II of Hungary. The army of the Ottoman Empire defeated the much smaller Hungarian army at Mohács, and King Louis II died in the battle. A group of the barons elected Ferdinand I of the House of Habsburg to the throne, who promised to defend Hungary from the Turks. He was the younger brother of the most powerful European monarch Emperor Charles V. But the nobility chose the most powerful Hungarian baron, Szapolyai János, who was also crowned as King John I. The country was split in two and a decades-long struggle for power began.
16th century
It was a very important border fortress between the Kingdom of Hungary (as part of the Habsburg Empire) and the Ottoman Empire. It watched over the land and river routes between Vienna and Buda and it was the military port for the pinnaces on the river Danube.
from the 1540s
The fortification was improved to a pentagonal bastion fort.

The Turkish occupation of the capital, Buda, and the division of Hungary into three parts
Little more...
1541
The Turks conquered Buda, the capital of Hungary, after the death of King John I. The central part of the country was under Turkish rule for 150 years. The western and northern parts (including present-day Slovakia) formed the Kingdom of Hungary ruled by the Habsburg emperors. The eastern parts (now mainly under Romanian rule) were ruled by the successors of King John I of Hungary. In 1571, John II (John Sigismund), the son of King John I of Hungary, renounced the title of King of Hungary in favor of King Maximilian of the House of Habsburg, and henceforth held the title of Prince. This formally created the Principality of Transylvania, which was the eastern half of Hungary not ruled by the Habsburgs and was also a vassal of the Ottoman Empire. John II died in 1571, after which the three nations of Transylvania (the Hungarian nobility, the Székelys and the Saxons) elected the prince.
1589
The Hungarian count and general Pálffy Miklós constructed a pontoon bridge and two wooden bridgehead forts. It was called the Saint Peter's Palisade.
1594
The defenders of the Old Fortress repelled the siege of the Ottoman army of Grand Vizier Sinan. Pálffy Miklós brought reinforcements to the besieged fort under cover of night. The head of the fortress was Captain Erasm, while his deputy was Starsith Farkas, the captain of the pinnaces.
1604-1606
Uprising of Bocskai István
Little more...
1604-1606
The alliance of the Habsburgs and the Principality of Transylvania was defeated by the Ottoman Empire in the Fifteen Years' War. The war devastated Transylvania, which was occupied by the Habsburg imperial army, and General Basta introduced a reign of terror. The nobility and the burghers were upset about the terror, the plundering mercenaries and the violent Counter-Reformation. Bocskai István decided to lead their uprising after the Habsburg emperor tried to confiscate his estates. Bocskai also rallied the hajdú warriors to his side. He was elected Prince of Transylvania and soon liberated the Kingdom of Hungary from the Habsburgs. In 1605 Bocskai István was crowned King of Hungary with the crown he received from the Turks.
autumn 1605
The sailors and the hussars living in the town, along with the armed citizens joined the ranks of Bicskai István, leader of the anti-Habsburg uprising. They moved to the Csallóköz, and blocked the road between the fortresses of Pozsony and Komárom, which were controlled by the Habsburgs.

23 June 1606
Bocski István made peace with Emperor Rudolf. Their agreement secured the constitutional rights of the Estates of Hungary, and the freedom of religion. The counties of Szatmár, Bereg and Ugocsa were annexed to the Principality of Transylvania. Bocskai died of illness in the same year, leaving to his successors the idea of unifying Hungary from Transylvania.
November 11, 1606
The peace treaty of Zsitvatorok signed by Rudolf I and Ahmed I near Komárom, which ended the Fifteen Years' War between the Habsburg and the Ottoman empires, was mediated by Bocskai István, Prince of Transylvania. The memorial is located in Zsitvatő (once called Zsitvatorok), where the river Zsitva once flowed into the Danube, before it was redirected to flow into the Nyitra.

The campaign of Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania in the Thirty Years' War
Little more...
1619
At the beginning of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania went to war against the Habsburg emperor as an ally of the rebelling Czech-Moravian-Austrian estates. The whole Kingdom of Hungary joined him, only the Austrian defenders of Pozsony had to be put to the sword. With his allies, he laid siege to Vienna. However, he was forced to abandon the siege because the Habsburg-loyal Hungarian aristocrat Homonnai Drugeth György attacked his heartland with Polish mercenaries. On 25 August 1620, the Diet of Besztercebánya elected Bethlen Gábor King of Hungary as vassal of the Turks. He continued to fight after the defeat of the Czechs at White Mountain on 8 November 1620, but without real chance to achieve decisive victory, he decided to come to an agreement with Emperor Ferdinand II.
Szeptember 1620
The town surrendered to the army of Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania.

31 December 1621
Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania made peace with Emperor Ferdinand II. Their agreement secured the constitutional rights of the Estates of Hungary, and later it was supplemented with the freedom of religion. Bethlen renounced the title of King of Hungary in exchange for seven counties of the Upper Tisza region (Szabolcs, Szatmár, Bereg, Ugocsa, Zemplén, Borsod, Abaúj) for the rest of his life, other estates in Hungary as his private property and the imperial title of Duke of Oppeln and Ratibor (Opole and Racibórz), one of the Duchies of Silesia. Prince Bethlen went to war against the Habsburgs in 1623 and 1626, but was unable to negotiate more favourable terms.
1663-1673
The New Fort was constructed.
1682
A flood devastated the town, the fortifications were also damaged.

Recapture of Buda and the liberation of Hungary from the Turks
Little more...
1686
The army of the Holy League recaptured Buda from the Turks by siege. In 1687, the Imperial army invaded the Principality of Transylvania. The liberation was hindered by the French breaking their promise of peace in 1688 and attacking the Habsburg Empire. By 1699, when the Peace of Karlóca was signed, all of Hungary and Croatia had been liberated from the Ottoman Empire with the exception of Temesköz, the area bounded by the Maros, the Tisza and the Danube rivers. It was not until the Peace of Požarevac in 1718 that Temesköz was liberated from the Turks. However, the continuous war against the Turkish invaders and the Habsburg autocracy, which lasted for more than 150 years, wiped out large areas of the Hungarian population, which had previously made up 80% of the country's population, and was replaced by Vlachs (Romanians), Serbs and other Slavic settlers and Germans. The Habsburgs also favoured the settlement of these foreign peoples over the 'rebellious' Hungarians.
1703-1711
Hungarian War of Independence led by Prince Rákóczi Ferenc II
Little more...
1703-1711
After the expulsion of the Turks, the Habsburgs treated Hungary as a newly conquered province and did not respect its constitution. The serfs rose up against the Habsburg ruler because of the sufferings caused by the war and the heavy burdens, and they invited Rákóczi Ferenc II to lead them. Trusting in the help promised by King Louis XIV of France, he accepted. Rákóczi rallied the nobility to his side, and soon most of the country was under his control. The rebels were called the kurucs. In 1704, the French and the Bavarians were defeated at the Battle of Blenheim, depriving the Hungarians of their international allies. The Rusyn, Slovak and Vlach peasants and the Saxons of Szepes supported the fight for freedom, while the Serbs in the south and the Saxons in Transylvania served the Habsburgs. Due to lack of funds Rákóczi could not raise a strong regular army, and in 1710, Hungary was also hit by a severe plague. Rákóczi tried unsuccessfully to forge an alliance with Tsar Peter the Great of Russia. In his absence, without his knowledge, his commander-in-chief, Károlyi Sándor, accepted Emperor Joseph I's peace offer. The Peace of Szatmár formally restored the Hungarian constitution and religious freedom and granted amnesty, but did not ease the burden of serfdom. Rákóczi refused to accept the pardon and went into exile. He died in Rodosto, Turkey.
1763
Half the town was destroyed in a serious earthquake. 63 people died.
1827-1838
King Francis I (Emperor Francis II) ordered the renovation of the fort, and the construction of the new fortresses of Monostor and Igmánd.
1848-1849
Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence
Little more...
1848-1849
Following the news of the Paris Revolution on 22 February 1848, the Hungarian liberal opposition led by Kossuth Lajos demanded the abolition of serfdom, the abolition of the tax exemption of the nobility, a parliament elected by the people, and an independent and accountable national government. The revolution that broke out in Pest on 15 March expressed its demands in 12 points, which, in addition to the above mentioned, included the freedom of the press, equality before the law, the release of the political prisoners and the union with Transylvania. A Hungarian government was formed, Batthyány Lajos became prime minister, and on 11 April Emperor Ferdinand V ratified the reform laws. On August 31 the Emperor demanded the repeal of the laws threatening with military intervention. In September the Emperor unleashed the army of Jelacic, Ban of Croatia, on Hungary, but they were defeated by the Hungarians in the Battle of Pákozd on 29 September. An open war began for the independence of Hungary. The Habsburgs incited the nationalities against the Hungarians. The Rusyns, the Slovenes and most of the Slovaks and Germans supported the cause persistently, but the Vlachs (Romanians) and the Serbians turned against the Hungarians. The glorious Spring Campaign in 1849 led by General Görgei Artúr liberated almost all of Hungary. On 1 May 1849, Emperor Franz Joseph, effectively admitting defeat, asked for the help of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, who sent an intervention army of 200,000 soldiers against Hungary. The resistance became hopeless against the overwhelming enemy forces and on 13 August Görgei Artúr surrendered to the Russians at Világos. Bloody reprisals followed, and on 6 October 1849, 12 generals and a colonel of the Hungarian Revolution, the martyrs of Arad, were executed in Arad. On the same day, Batthyány Lajos, the first Hungarian Prime Minister, was executed by firing squad in Pest. The Habsburgs introduced total authoritarianism in Hungary, but they also failed to fulfil their promises to the nationalities that had betrayed the Hungarians.
December 1848
The Imperial army lay siege to the fortifications of Komárom.
April 22, 1819
The Hungarian army led by Görgei Artúr liberated Komárom from under the Imperial siege as part of the Glorious spring Campaign.

The Austrians retreated towards Győr, while the Hungarians liberated Buda by a one-month siege. Threatened by the defeat, Emperor Franz Joseph pleaded for the intervention of Nicholas I of Russia in Warsaw. The Tsar then dispatched a massive army of 200 thousand soldiers led by Paskievich to put an end to the Hungarian War of Independence.
July 2, 1849
In the Second Battle of Komárom the Hungarian army under the command of Görgei Artúr repelled the attack of the twice as large Imperial army of Haynau. Görgei Artúr suffered a serious head injury during the fight.

1867
Austro-Hungarian Compromise
Little more...
1867
The Habsburg Empire was weakened by the defeats it suffered in the implementation of Italian and German unity. The Hungarians wanted to return to the reform laws of 1848, but they did not have the strength to do so. Emperor Franz Joseph and the Hungarian opposition, led by Deák Ferenc, finally agreed to restructure the Empire and abolish absolutism. Hungary was given autonomy in its internal affairs, with its own government and parliament, which was essential for the development of its economy and culture. However, foreign and military affairs remained in the hands of the Habsburgs and served their aspiration for becoming a great power. The majority wanted Hungary's independence, but they were excluded from political power.
1884
The railway between Komárom and Budapest was completed. However, the main railway line between Vienna and Budapest went through Vác and Pozsony, on the left bank of the Danube. The line that went through Komárom became important only after the Trianon Dictate in 1920.

The Czech, Romanian and Serbian occupation of Hungary
Little more...
November 1918 - January 1919
In Hungary, the freemasonic subversion brought the pro-Entente Károlyi Mihály to power. The new government, naively trusting the Entente powers, met all their demands and disbanded the Hungarian military, which rendered the country completely defenseless in the most dire need. Under French and Italian command, Czech, Romanian and Serbian troops invaded large parts of Hungary, where they immediately began the takeover. They fired Hungarian railway workers, officials and teachers, banned the use of the Hungarian language, abolished Hungarian education, and disposed of everything that reminded them of the country's Hungarian past. Hundreds of thousands of Hungarians were forced to leave their homeland, and the forcible assimilation of the remaining Hungarians was begun.
January 10, 1919
The Czechoslovak Legion invaded the northern part of Komárom and closed the bridge over the Danube.
April 28, 1919
Workers of the northern Shipyard attacked the Czechoslovak bridge garrison in order to clear the way before the liberating troops coming from the south. But the invaders repelled the attack and the workers were quickly interned in Terezín, Czechia.
May 1, 1919
An army of Hungarian volunteers consisting of factory workers, miners and veterans tried to retake Komárom. Their number was between 1700 and 3000. One group crossed the Danube on boats, while two other crossed the bridge and attacked the Czechoslovak invaders. In the beginning they were successful, but they were soon encircled, after Czechoslovak reinforcements arrived from Érsekújvár. The Hungarians had to either flee or surrender. The Czechoslovaks murdered the captured and injured people by the most brutal ways. Around 250-300 Hungarian died altogether. The putschist communist government of Hungary neither approved nor supported the heroic mission.
4 June 1920
Trianon Dictate
Little more...
4 June 1920
Hungary was forced to sign the Treaty of Trianon, although the country was not invited to the peace talks. Hungary lost two thirds of its territory that had belonged to it for more than 1000 years. One-third of the Hungarian population came under foreign rule. On the basis of the national principle, countries with a more mixed and less ethnically balanced composition than the former Hungary were created, such as Czechoslovakia and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia). For example, while 48% of the population of the territory ceded to Czechoslovakia was Slovak and 30% Hungarian, 54% of the population of the former Hungary was Hungarian and 10.6% Slovak. And in the territory that is now part of Serbia, the Hungarians outnumbered the Serbs. The part of the territory allocated to Romania from Hungary was larger than the remaining territory of Hungary, despite the fact that there were 10 million Hungarians and less than 3 million Romanians in the former Hungary. While Hungary used to have the most liberal nationality policy in Europe, the successor states had no respect at all for the national and cultural rights of the indigenous Hungarians and engaged in forced assimilation. The Trianon Dictate destroyed the organic economic unity of the region. Before the First World War, Hungary had a dynamic economy, more advanced than Spain's. After 1920, the successor states formed the so-called "Little Entente", putting Hungary under an economic blockade and sabotaging it on the international stage.
June 4, 1920
The Tianon Dictate tore the completely Hungarian town into two parts. The historical town north of the Danube was given to Czechoslovakia.

2 November 1938
Under the First Vienna Award, Hungary regained 11,927 km2 of territory from Czechoslovakia. Its population was 869 thousand people, 86.5% of whom were Hungarian. France and Great Britain did not take part in the decision taken by Germany and Italy, citing disinterest, but acknowledged its validity.
November 2, 1938
The First Vienna Award united Komárom once more, and the town returned to Hungary.
July 2, 1944
700 American bombers followed by 180 fighter planes were on the way to bomb Budapest, but were disturbed by Hungarian and German fighter planes. One bomber threw its lethal cargo onto the southern part of Komárom. One person died. The air defense shot down a B-17 heavy bomber, which crashed a few kilometers from the town.
September 11, 1944
The air defense shot down an American B-24 bomber above Komárom.

Beneš decrees and the persecution of Hungarians
Little more...
5 April 1945
In Hungarian-majority Kassa, the president of occupying Czechoslovakia, Edvard Beneš, promulgated his government program, the so-called Beneš decrees. As part of this, the Hungarian population was deprived of their rights. Their complete expulsion was planned, with the support of the Soviet Union, and only the veto of the USA prevented it. Under the 'Reslavakization' programme, only those Hungarians who recognised themselves as Slovaks were allowed to regain their rights, thus renouncing all linguistic and cultural rights. In the violent expulsions that followed, nearly 200,000 Hungarians were deprived of their property and expelled from their homeland on the basis of their nationality.
1945
One of many internment camps where the Czechoslovaks gathered the native Hungarians they wanted to expel because of their nationality operated in Komárom.
1947
Paris Dictate

1947
The Paris Dictate, in accordance with Soviet interests, did not recognise the just territorial revisions made by the two Vienna decisions and handed the reclaimed Hungarian-majority territories back to Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugoslavia, where the Hungarians were subjected to severe atrocities, expulsions and deprivation of rights. It also seceded three more villages south of Pozsony from Hungary to Czechoslovakia.
1947
With the Paris Dictate and the resurrection of Czechoslovakia, the Hungarian town was torn apart once again.

Dissolution of Czechoslovakia

1 January 1993
Czechoslovakia disintegrated due to ethnic differences between Czechs and Slovaks, shortly after the withdrawal of Soviet tanks. Slovakia was formed entirely from territory carved out of historic Hungary, and Slovak national identity is still largely based on falsified history and artificial hatred of Hungarians. Despite deportations, expulsions, forced assimilation and strong economic pressure, there are still nearly half a million Hungarians living in the country.

Statue of M.R.Stefánik
History
M.R.Stefánik was born in a Slovak family of 12 children in Kosaras, that was part of Hungary. His father was a Slovak nationalist, a member of the extreme separatist Slovak National Party and
he raised his children in the same spirit. Stefánik attended the grammar schools of Pozsony (at that time it was a Hungarian and German town) and Sopron (Hungary), and he passed his final exams in the Evangelic Grammar School of Szarvas (Hungary).
He learned at the University of Prague, where his philosophy teacher was Masaryk, who influenced him with his idea of the Czech and Slovak unification. In Prague he started to write untruthful articles in newspapers about the oppression of the Slovaks by the Hungarians. After the breaking of the First World War in 1914, he betrayed his homeland, joined the French Foreign Legion and became a fighter pilot. In 1916 the Czechoslovak National Council was formed in Paris, and Masaryk became its president. They organized the Czechoslovak Legion from Czech and Slovak deserters. Its main purpose was to occupy Bohemia and northern Hungary after the defeat of the Central Powers. In November 1, 1918 the Czechoslovak Legion started the invasion of northern Hungary under the command of Italian officers. In January, 1919 Pozsony was also occupied. They invaded large areas with Hungarian majority as well, and the Slovaks formed only less then 50 percent of the population of the occupied territory. In May, 1919 Stefánik was travelling by plane from Udine to Pozsony but his plane crashed during landing. All the passengers died. There were several theories.
The Czech Masaryk and Beneš wanted to a suppress the Slovaks in the Czechoslovak state that was to be created from the very beginning, thus they had a serious disagreement with Stefánik.
According to the reports Stefánik was travelling on an Italian plane, which was taken as a Hungarian plane because of its flag of green-white-red colors, and was shot down by the Czechoslovak soldiers. But according to the Slovak nationalist politician Andrej Hlinka, the plane landed, but Stefánik was shot at the command of Beneš as soon as he got out of the plane.

The foundation of the town dates back to the foundation of Hungary. Its fortress played a key role in protecting the country against the Turkish invaders, who could never capture it. One of the most modern and impregnable fortification systems of Europe was created here, which strongly resisted the Austrian siege during the Hungarian War of Independence between 1848 and 1849, even after its suppression by the Russian intervention forces. The amnesty obtained by giving up the fortress ensured safety for thousands of Hungarian patriots, including the playwright Mad\u00e1ch Imre, who could later write The tragedy of man.

His father was a Slovak nationalist, a member of the extreme separatist Slovak National Party and@he raised his children in the same spirit. Stef\u00e1nik attended the grammar schools of Pozsony (at that time it was a Hungarian and German town) and Sopron (Hungary), and he passed his final exams in the Evangelic Grammar School of Szarvas (Hungary).@He learned at the University of Prague, where his philosophy teacher was Masaryk, who influenced him with his idea of the Czech and Slovak unification. In Prague he started to write untruthful articles in newspapers about the oppression of the Slovaks by the Hungarians. After the breaking of the First World War in 1914, he betrayed his homeland, joined the French Foreign Legion and became a fighter pilot. In 1916 the Czechoslovak National Council was formed in Paris, and Masaryk became its president. They organized the Czechoslovak Legion from Czech and Slovak deserters. Its main purpose was to occupy Bohemia and northern Hungary after the defeat of the Central Powers. In November 1, 1918 the Czechoslovak Legion started the invasion of northern Hungary under the command of Italian officers. In January, 1919 Pozsony was also occupied. They invaded large areas with Hungarian majority as well, and the Slovaks formed only less then 50 percent of the population of the occupied territory. In May, 1919 Stef\u00e1nik was travelling by plane from Udine to Pozsony but his plane crashed during landing. All the passengers died. There were several theories.@The Czech Masaryk and Bene\u0161 wanted to a suppress the Slovaks in the Czechoslovak state that was to be created from the very beginning, thus they had a serious disagreement with Stef\u00e1nik.@According to the reports Stef\u00e1nik was travelling on an Italian plane, which was taken as a Hungarian plane because of its flag of green-white-red colors, and was shot down by the Czechoslovak soldiers. But according to the Slovak nationalist politician Andrej Hlinka, the plane landed, but Stef\u00e1nik was shot at the command of Bene\u0161 as soon as he got out of the plane."},{"sightId":20,"townId":3,"active":1,"name_LO":"Troji\u010dn\u00fd st\u013ap","address":"Palat\u00ednova 1, 945 01 Kom\u00e1rno","mapdata":"1|332|436","gps_lat":"47.7572300000","gps_long":"18.1288280000","religion":1,"oldtype":"38","newtype":"38","homepage":"","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"http:\/\/muemlekem.hu\/hatareset\/Szentharomsag-oszlop-es-szoborcsoport-Komarom-178","csemadoklink":"\r","picture":"\u003Ca title=\u0022Ing.Mgr.Jozef Kotuli\u010d \/ CC BY-SA (https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0)\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Kom%C3%A1rno,_troji%C4%8Dn%C3%BD_st%C4%BAp_19_Slovakia31.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg width=\u0022256\u0022 alt=\u0022Kom\u00e1rno, troji\u010dn\u00fd st\u013ap 19 Slovakia31\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/2\/25\/Kom%C3%A1rno%2C_troji%C4%8Dn%C3%BD_st%C4%BAp_19_Slovakia31.jpg\/256px-Kom%C3%A1rno%2C_troji%C4%8Dn%C3%BD_st%C4%BAp_19_Slovakia31.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E","picture_ref":"\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Kom%C3%A1rno,_troji%C4%8Dn%C3%BD_st%C4%BAp_19_Slovakia31.jpg\u0022 title=\u0022via Wikimedia Commons\u0022\u003EIng.Mgr.Jozef Kotuli\u010d\u003C\/a\u003E \/ \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\u0022\u003ECC BY-SA\u003C\/a\u003E","name":"Trinity Statue","seolink":"trinity-statue","note":"","history":"It was raised in 1715 as a thanksgiving for the passing of the great plague between 1710 and 1711.
