The population numbers approximately 60,000, which makes it the eighth largest city in Slovakia. It is the center of the Turiec region and the District of Martin. The first recorded reference to Martin in written sources is dated to 1284 under the name of Vila Sancti Martini. In the turbulent 15th century, Martin suffered from many disasters, for example from the attack of the Hussites in 1433, when the town was burned down. Just 10 years later, it was destroyed again by an earthquake and Martin started to be slowly degraded from royal to the privileged town and under direct influence of the Révay family. Since the 18th century, Martin became centre of the Turóc county. The town became the foremost Slovak cultural center in the 19th century. Several cultural institutions (including Slovak Matica and Slovak National Museum) were founded there. Most political activities leading to the Slovak national emancipation in the 19th and early 20th centuries were organized in or from Martin. Today, it is the seat of the Slovak National Library and Slovak Matica. National Council of the Slovak Republic declared the City of Martin the center of national culture of the Slovaks on August 24, 1994. The oldest building is a Romanesque church dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours (13th century). The Slovak National Museum placed its ethnographic collection in Martin. An open air museum in the suburbs, the Museum of the Slovak Village (Jahodnícke háje), exhibits the traditional rural architecture and folk traditions of the region of Turiec. The Slovak National Cemetery is the official Slovak hall of fame. The Slovak Chamber Theatre in Martin was established in 1944 as the second professional theatre company in Slovakia. The theatre building is a landmark of the city center. Today Martin is home to a Volkswagen Group owned automotive industry production plant, under the Volkswagen Slovakia, a.s. subsidiary. Opened in 2000, it employs approximately 800 people. The Danish shoe company Ecco is situated near to the Kosuty II borough. Next to the city center (downtown) are two big employers, namely Neografia Martin (printing company) and the University hospital. Other well known companies are Skanska, Viena International and Hoechst-Biotika. Martin is home to the Jessenius School of Medicine which is 1 of 3 medical schools in Slovakia. Up to 400 Norwegian medical students are currently studying there. The city's system of primary education consists of nine public schools, two private primary schools and two religious primary schools. Secondary education is represented by two gymnasia, three specialized high schools (Business Academy Martin) and three vocational schools. Martin is near the main Slovak road from Bratislava to Košice, as well as being near the main railway. Martin is surrounded by Malá Fatra and Veľká Fatra mountains, which in winter offer excellent conditions for skiing and in summer for hiking. www.porterclub.szm.sk e-mail: [email protected] or [email protected] 1st BREWERY COLLECTIBLES WORLD CONVENTION 03 – 06 OCTOBER 2013 MARTIN – SLOVAKIA INTRODUCING MARTIN TOWN The center of the town Historical building - Gallery Square Slovak national museum Martin The center of the town www.porterclub.szm.sk e-mail: [email protected] or [email protected] 1st BREWERY COLLECTIBLES WORLD CONVENTION 03 – 06 OCTOBER 2013 MARTIN – SLOVAKIA INTRODUCING PORTER CLUB The Porter Club of Brewery Souvenir Collectors was established in 1992.
