Nitra Cathedral
St Emmeram's Cathedral is located on the grounds of Nitra Castle. The cathedral is actually made up of three different church buildings: a Romanesque church from the 11th century, the upper Gothic church from the 14th century and the lower church from the 17th century. The oldest part is the 11th-century Romanesque church of St. Emmeram, which, according to recent research, rests on foundations from the 9th century. It was damaged by fire in the 13th century and destroyed in 1317 by the army of Matthew III Csák. A single-nave Gothic church was then built between 1333 and 1355, into which the old church was incorporated. In 1621-1642, the lower church was built on the long southern side of the upper church and on the narrow side of the Romanesque church.
