History

pn

    Piestany has a rich history. Traces of settlements can be found from the prehistoric times (approximately 80 000 AD) surrounding the thermal springs of what is now the Piestany Spa. People were attracted to the area by the existence of the thermal springs because they did not freeze during the cold winter. Neanderthals lived in this area evidenced by stone tools which were found close to the village of Banka and the Certova Pec cave.
In the Neolithic Age, the springs were densely populated and traces of settlements were found on the ridges on the left bank of the river Vah, dated from the end of the Stone Age.
