So here we are in Slovakia, the day after we arrived in Central Europe. Banska Stiavnica was the 2nd largest town in Hungary during the middle ages, but when the silver ore ran out, the town faded into obscurity.
The white wall attached to the tower in the background was built in the 1400's to protect the church and village from the invading Turks. However, they didn't make it quite this far.
