Welcome to MY website

Welcome to my homepage about City of Žilina. I hope than we can find more interesting information about Žilina. 

Žilina is a city in north-western Slovakia, around 200 kilometres (120 mi) from the capital Bratislava. It is the fourth largest city of Slovakia with a population of around 85,000, an important industrial centre, the largest city on the Váh river, and the seat of a kraj (Žilina Region) and of an okres (Žilina District). It belongs to Upper Váh region of tourism.

The coat-of-arms of Žilina is a golden double-cross (so-called cross of Lorraine) with roots and two golden stars on the olive-green background. The double-cross is of Byzantine origin and stems from Cyrillic-methodic tradition. The coat-of-arms is one of the oldest municipal coat-of-arms not only in Slovakia. It has been used as the city's symbol since 1378.
