Zilina is a city located in the center of Northwest Slovakia at the confluence of the Vah and the

church above the Parish stairs is of renaissance character, its tower is 51 metres high and the
near by a Renaissance belfry, the Burian Tower is 5 metres lower. The most well-known
monument in the city and the surrounding areas is the *Budatin Castle, *located to the north of
the town, above the two rivers. The reference dates back to the 14th century. Formerly it used
to be a water castle. Expositions of the Contemporary interior and the Sacral collections form
the 18th and 19th century are presented inside the castle.
