Komarom Attractions

This border town (pop. 20,000) about 25km (16mi.) northwest of Tata on the expressway to Vienna on the right bank of the Danube, is linked to the Slovakian town of Komarno by a railroad bridge. For almost a century the Hungarian town and the Slovakian town were one settlement and capital of the former Komárom district only being divided into two by the peace treaty of Versailles-Trianon in 1920. The Hungarian part was originally a suburb of the present Slovakian half and has since fused with Szony, which was an important Roman camp in the province of Pannonia.
