Komarno is a city in the Slovakia at the Danube.
background
Known under the German name Komorn until the times of the Danube monarchy, the city, together with today's neighboring Hungarian city of Komárom, formed a very important center, mainly due to the large barracks. Today the city is the most important center of the Hungarian minority, and also the German-speaking roots have not been forgotten, so that many of the signs are in three languages.

Tourist Attractions
Europa-Platz is the most important sight. It is a square with 50 houses, each representing a European country. The houses are kept in a style that matches the country.
Another attraction are the mighty fortifications with forts, bastions and citadels that protected the Danube port of Komorn (German name of the twin town Komárno / Komarom) at the mouth of the river Waag in the Danube. These were created in the Renaissance period and most of them are still there. Some of these plants are on the Hungarian side in Komárom and are also developed for tourism.
