Nitriansky Hrádok

[1] A significant quantity of archaeological material has been found at the tell of Zámeček (the name means "small castle", "château"), settlement layers of which have been estimated to date from about 4,800 BC onwards.

[2][3] The oldest settlement was established by the Lengyel culture in the early 5th millennium BC.

The most significant period of occupation was during the Bronze Age, c. 1600 BC, when a large fortified settlement was built by the Mad'arovce culture.

A famous find was a Neolithic (Lengyel culture) figurine of a sitting woman, which was dubbed Hrádocká Venuša, or the Venus of Hradok.

In 1997 a statue by Jaroslav Gubric was erected at Hradok, an enlarged copy of the figurine.
