|  The
town is situated in the Rožňava Fold in the valley of the Slaná River,
under the southern foothills of the Volovské Mountains. Rožňava emerged
as a miners' settlement with golden, silver, and copper mines. The
first written mention of the town dates back to 1291. The first
municipal rights were granted in 1340, the town became a tributary town
in 1382, and it gained full recognition as a free royal town in 1410.
Turkish raids in the 16th century contributed to the decline of mining.
Today, Rožňava is a pleasant town with excellent opportunities for
nature and history lovers. | |
