    - is a Gothic cathedral in Koice. It is Slovakia's biggest church, as well as one of the
    easternmost Gothic cathedrals in Europe.

    National Theatre
    One of the most beautiful monuments of Kosice. National Theatre
    is a classic theater with three ensembles drama, opera and ballet.

    Lower gate
    Remains of Lower
    Gate were found
    during the
    reconstruction in the
    twentieth century.
    Town remade this
    place to an
    underground museum. Museum is located under the Main Street. People can see walls of
    old town and monuments of St. Elizabeths Cathedral
    Singing fountain
    Singing fountain is fountain on
    Hlavn (Central) Street in Koice. It
    is between National Theatre and
    Catedral of st. Elizabeth's . Lights
    are regulated according how
    music plays.
    The biggest reconstruction of our beautiful town Koice was in early 2000s, when
    Rudolf Schuster became a mayor of the city.
    In September 2008, the city was awarded the prestigious title of European Capital of
    Culture 2013 as the first in Slovakia. Thanks to that, the city also became the centre of
    creativity and a new future for young, creative people who wish to live and work in the city,
    which is their home.
    We invited for an interview a teacher involved in an international project that year.
    Interviewer: You worked on Commenius Project and your school hosted visitors from
    Hungary, Finland, England, Spain and Germany for few days.
    Teacher: Yes, we had a great time.
    I: What was the project about?
    T: Well, the project was about jobs in the past, present and future. We spoke about trades and
    things typical for our region.
    I: Where did you go?
    T: We were in Technical museum, we heard o lot of facts about mining from profesor Rybr,
    we learned about metallurgy, engineering, we were in minig museum, Miklus prison,
    Rodoto.
    I: What did you show them?
    T: We walked along the Main Street, we told them about history of each significant sight like
    St. Elizabeth's Cathedral, St. Urban's tower, The State Theatre, Singing fountain. We visited
    the stores and workshops in Hrniarska Street, where we could see many trades like potter,
    baker, leather maker, smith, carpenter, herbalist, jewerler,... working.
    I: Did you get the chance to present some of our culture to your guests?
    T: Of course. We took them to Humno - the
    ethnografical museum of history, crafts,
    folklore, ornaments. In a Centre of free time we
    saw a very nice performance of our traditional
    folklore and gipsy music and dance, and also
    presentation of our pupils program. But I think,
    everybody remembers meeting our former
    president of Slovak Republic and mayor of
    Koice, Rudolf Schuster, who talked about the
    history and development of our town. He could
    speak almost all the languages of our partners.
    I: How would you summarize this international experience?

    T: We learnt a lot from each other, but we had fun too. All the kids got a lots of new friends,
    got new perspective about life in wider view, learnt a lot about life and work in other
    countries. Hope we can prepare new projects for our pupils in future.
