Welcome to Presov

Prešov  is a city in eastern Slovakia. It is the seat of the administrative Presov Region (Prešovský kraj). With a population of approximately 100,000 it is the third-largest city in the country.                Attractions
Prešov is an impressive city culturally; many concerts, operas, operettas and stage plays are performed at the new building of the Jonáš Záborský Theatre (Divadlo Jonáša Záborského), as well as at the old location.
The city is a wonderful showcase of Baroque, Rococo and Gothic architecture. In the Staré Mesto (Old Town/Downtown) area, the main street is lined with churches and other buildings built in these styles. In the suburbs, however, the Soviet influence is tragically evident through the massive concrete apartment buildings (the paneláks) of the Sídliská (settlements) and the Sekčov district. More Soviet architecture is seen in the government buildings near the downtown.
