História Liptovského Hrádku vo veľkom podchode

History & Culture

The great underpass under the railway line, connecting the Lower Hrádok with the upper, is an important part of the city.

During the summer months, his walls turned into a place to commemorate the city's history. Although Liptovský Hrádok is not one of the big cities in terms of population, it has many beautiful places, historical buildings and monuments that you can see daily, even if we do not realize what historical role they play.

To illustrate the past, the municipal authority chose, in fact, an unconventional modern way of artistic expression - graphite. The underpass decoration was provided by graduates of the School of Applied Arts in Ružomberok. A pair of artists spilled more than 150 paint sprays to decorate the large underpass.

At present, the walls of the large underpass are decorated with almost 50 separate figures dominated by the historical building of the Salt Office, today's Ethnographic Museum and the Castle of Liptovský Hrádok, today's Grand Castle. Even a hurried run to work, or vice versa, has become a short walk through the history for both Hrádočany and visitors to the town. Stopping pedestrians, who watch the pictures with admiration and often even take pictures, testify to the fact that the new underpass decoration is popular with citizens.
