Nitra (in German: Neutra, in Hungarian: Nyitra /Nyitria) is a city in western Slovakia (and fourth largest urban settlement in Slovakia) situated at the foot of Zobor Mountain in Nitra river valley (see below). Population: 90,000 (1991). Seat of a region (kraj) or Higher Territorial Unit (VÚC) and of a district (okres).

Together with Bratislava, the oldest city in Slovakia (it was a town as early as in the 9th century).

A city of extraordinary importance in terms of its history: Inhabited since time immemorial, it was an important center of the Celts (last centuries B.C.), seat of the first known rulers of what is today Slovak territory (Quadi 396?, Nitrian Principality around 800, Great Moravia 824?, Frontier Duchy of Nitra [within the Principality of Poland 1000-1030 and the Kingdom of Hungary 970/1048 – 1077/1108] ) and seat of the first bishopric in Slovakia (since 880). Site of the first known Christian church in central and eastern Europe (built in 828 at the time of the Nitrian Principality). The town's historic center is dominated by a castle (Hrad), which is one of the most interesting ancient complexes of buildings in Slovakia.
