Kde je... ? #1
Posted by Margarete on 14 May 2008
A fellow blogger in Czechia who goes by the name Captain Oddsocks posts pictures on his blog and has people guess where it is. I think this is a great idea.
I’m going to do something similar and call the feature Kde je…? – Where is…? If you know something about Slovakia and can recognize basic landmarks, buildings, and monuments then these may be rather easy. For most foreigners it may give you the chance to learn something new.
Here we go with the first one. Can anyone recognize where this is?
Now some of you might be saying to yourselves, ‘How the heck am I supposed to guess where this is? It’s just a statue.”
Yes, that’s true, but it’s a very famous statue, and if you recognize it, you’ll probably know where it is.

Please tell me the location of this statue. I'm sure I have seen it (I spent six weeks in Bratislava, three weeks each in 2005 and 2007), but I cannot place it. What is its name and significance?

Hi Errol-- The statue is in Nitra, located in the upper town, where the Nitra castle is. I've written about who he is and his significance in my latest blog "As Mighty as Corgoň". Thanks for your interest.
