Piestany is a town in Slovakia. It is located in the western part of the country within the Trnava Region and is the seat of its own district. It is the biggest and best known spa town in Slovakia and has around 30,000 inhabitants. The Napoleon Spa is a complex of Neoclassicist spa buildings built between 1822 and 1862. The Kolonadovy Most bridge, constructed by Emil Bellus in 1930-33, is a preeminent functionalist construction with many precious art objects.
The Piestany spa has a capacity of two thousand beds and treats over forty thousand patients a year. Piestany also has several museums. The Balneological Museum focuses on archeology, history and ethnography of the region, as well as the history of Slovakia spas in general. It was established in 1933 by the Winter family. Another small museum commemorates the life of the Slovak poet Ivan Krasko, who lived in Piestany from 1945 to 1958. Finally, a new museum at the airport exhibits a collection related to the Slovak military history.
