Kremnica in Slovakia 🇸🇰
Kremnica is a town in central Slovakia and has around 5,300 inhabitants. The geographical centre of Europe is claimed to be in the nearby village of Krahule.
The history of the town of Kremnica is closely linked to gold mining. Kremnica was among the major mining towns of the world during the Middle Ages and in the modern era due to the abundant gold ore deposits in the Kremnica Mountains. As one of the most important centers of Protestant Reformation in the country, the town belonged to the Protestant "League of Seven Mining Towns".
In the 16th century however, the miners had to dig deeper and deeper to reach new deposits and the mining conditions deteriorated because of underground water in the shafts. The cost of mining increased and the mining was becoming less profitable. The last gold was extracted in Kremnica in 1970, at which time all the mines were closed.
