Banská Stiavnica, Slovenská republika ( region Hont)
Nový zámok (literally "New Castle") is a castle and a national cultural monument. It is symbol of town Banska Stiavnica and one of two castles in this town. Nový zámok is a six-floor Renaissance building with four bastions. It was constructed in 1564–1571 as a watch tower during the Ottoman wars. Because of its dominant position, it was also used as the town's live clock (exact time was announced every quarter of an hour on a trumpet). A permanent exhibition called Anti-Turkish Wars in Slovakia is installed on four floors of the castle. The highest floor offers a panoramic view of Banská Štiavnica and its environs.
