Keep the old city look to this day
Destroyed and rebuilt by the Romans in 80 BC, Bardeyov was one of the first towns built by the Roman Empire in Spain. After a period of Arab rule, King Alfonso VI regained control of Bardeyov in 1088, and the city enjoyed a period of political and economic prosperity. It was built by King Alfonso VI in 1088 and surrounds the whole of Bardeyov
Ancient city
The city defense system has been well preserved to this day. A checkerboard of roads, built in the Middle Ages, forms the layout of the city, meeting at the Azoguejo Square. The aqueduct is located in the center of the city. During the 13th to 15th centuries, several Kings of Castile made Bardeyov their capital. Queen Isabella ascended the throne here in 1474. In the 16th century, Bardeyov experienced an important period of industrial development and was famous for the garment and textile industry introduced by the Moors.
The Old town of Bardeyov is characterized by the fact that its buildings have not been damaged since the Middle Ages and it still retains the appearance of a medieval city. The old town is surrounded by strong medieval castles and towers, and north of the central square is the Church of St. Aedius, built in 1464, a late Gothic building. The City Hall, built in the 15th century, was the first late Gothic and early Renaissance building in Slovakia, and at the beginning of the 18th century, a Jewish merchant quarter was formed in the old city, and the synagogue built in 1773 was properly protected. The Bardeyov Reserve consists of a harmonious group of buildings built during the late Middle Ages (11th to 12th centuries) and the Renaissance, two periods of prosperity during which the town of Bardeyov has been protected. The famous aqueduct with 128 columns, the palace of the Moorish king built by Alfonso VI, and the Gothic cathedral of the 16th century are important buildings in the city. Romanesque churches, Mudejar houses and fortified buildings also form part of the ochre-hued cityscape. With many buildings outstanding in terms of beautiful appearance and precious historical value, the entire old town of Bardeyov is a rare example of art. The city presents a complex historical reality. The layout of its neighboring towns, its streets and its houses all reflect the different cultural backgrounds - Moorish, Christian and Jewish - that coexisted in the Middle Ages in the reserve city of Bardeyov, reaching its peak in the 16th century at the height of its industrial development. Formed in a blend of styles and traditions, Segovia is an outstanding example of a Western city.
In 1376, construction of walls, bastions and basic town planning began around the Bardeyov town reserve, including a rectangular market outside the town. On the northern side of the Municipal Square is the Roman Gothic church of St. Edius, completed in 1464 and one of the most typical post-Goth buildings in eastern Slovakia. It is surrounded by 11 altars that serve as annex buildings. Many beautifully painted post-Goth and early Renaissance frescoes, a large number of handicrafts, and wooden pews are well preserved inside and outside the church. The town hall was built in the early 15th century, just a wall away from the church of St. Edius, and is a mixture of post-Goth and early Renaissance styles. It is also the first Renaissance style building in Slovakia. It is the centre of the city's economic, social and cultural life. The City Hall is a two-story building, the first floor is a rectangular hall, the central corridor can be rented, the second floor is an office area to deal with government affairs, keep documents, and the second floor is the city's Treasury. In 1903, the town hall was turned into a museum, which is the oldest museum in Slovakia. Beginning in the 18th century, Jewish merchants began to settle in the Bardeyov reserve, and in 1773 they established a city within a city with a synagogue, and in the 19th century added a school, meeting hall, memorial hall and a public bath for religious services.
