Komárno (in Hungarian: Komárom [today a separate town, also Révkomárom], in German: Komorn) is a town in Slovakia at the Danube and the Váh rivers. The bigger part on the left river bank is situated in Slovakia (Komárno), the smaller part on the other river bank is in Hungary (Komárom), they are connected by a bridge.
The following is a description of the Slovak (i.e. northern) part of the town.
Population: 37,366 (2001), out of which 22,452 (60,1%) Hungarian, 12,960 (34,7%) Slovak. Seat of a district (okres). A center of the Hungarian ethnic minority in Slovakia.
The town has a historic center and in addition a fortress at the place where the Váh pours into the Danube. The fortress has been the most important fortress of historic Hungary and Austria-Hungary because it has never been conquered by force ("nec arte nec marte"). It arose in the 16th century from an adaptation of a medieval castle. A "New Fortress" has been added in the 17th century close to the old one. The fortress played an important role during the Revolution of 1848/1849 in the Kingdom of Hungary. Both fortresses have been preserved till today.
Following WWI the border of the newly created Czechoslovakia was set along the Danube which divided the north and the south parts of the city.
One of the greatest Hungarian romantic writer Jókai,Mór (1825-1904) was born here.
