Memorial Plaque

Center of Europe

The commemorative plaque marks the adoption of the Declaration of Sovereignty of the Slovak Republic on 17 July 1992 as an important step towards fulfilling the Slovak nation’s right to self-determination, as well as the establishment of the Slovak Republic on 1 January 1993. The first Bonfire of Sovereignty was lit here in Kremnické Bane, at the geographical centre of Europe.

Near Kremnické Bane lies the geographical centre of Europe, marked by a symbolic monument. The location of Europe’s "true" centre has been debated for centuries. Proposed sites range from Germany to Lithuania. This is because different definitions of the centre and methods of calculating it result in several possible locations.
