Years: 828 - 828
Nitra, under Avar rule for more than two hundred years until their defeat by Charlemagne in the early ninth century, has become the capital of the Principality of Nitra, the oldest known independent Slavic state in the present-day Slovakia.
The first known Christian church built by the Western Slavs is consecrated around 828 by Archbishop Adalram of Salzburg at the seat of the ruling prince, Pribina, and in the same year the town is first mentioned as Nitrawa.
