Stropkov lies on the left bank of the Ondava river in the beautiful scenery of Ondava Highlands in East Slovakia. It is first mentioned in documents in 1404, but it existed already before the 13th Century. In 1404 Stropkov (Stropko) was a small town - oppidum. In 1757 the so called big guild came into existence - very rare in Slovak history. Population: 6.000.
