ZLATA PRIEVIDZSKA CESTA :: ZLATOU ULICKOU
Kratka multicache castou historickeho jadra mesta Prievidza.
Pisomne podlozena historia Prievidze (Preuigan) siaha do cias vydania Zoborskej listiny (1113), v ktorej uhorsky kral Koloman potvrdzuje majetky benediktinskeho opatstva na Zobore. Jej vznik a rozvoj podnietila poloha na krizovatke vyznamnych obchodnych ciest a pridelenie vysadnej listiny kralovnej Marie 28.1.1383. Prievidza sa stala slobodnym kralovskym mestom s vysadami konania trhov, volby farara a richtara, vyberania myta, rozvoja remesiel a inymi.
Prva geocache v Prievidzi by sa dala nazvat aj Od kostola ku kostolu a prevedie vas historickou castou mesta. Cela multicache vedie jednosmerne pesou zonou a da sa pohodlne zvladnut do polhodiny, pricom je pristupna non-stop.
STAGE I :: Filioli, Novissima Hora!
N 48°46.371' E 018°37.488'
Prvou zastavkou je ranogoticky
Farsky kostol sv. Bartolomeja apostola z konca 14.storocia. Apostol Bartolomej, patron garbiarov sa stal patronom kostola, farnosti, i mesta. Po kuruckom vpade v druhej polovici 17.storocia bol chram prestavany do dnesnej podoby.
Ocitli ste sa vedla
barokovej Immaculaty, marianskeho stlpa z 18.storocia. Autorom tejto narodnej kulturnej pamiatky je kremnicky sochar Dionyz Stanetti. Vsimnite si tiez najzaujimavejsi prvok exterieru -
slnecne hodiny. Napis
FILIOLI, NOVISSIMA HORA sa da prelozit ako Milacikovia, (odbila) Vasa posledna hodina. Vestba je to hroziva, tak len chytro spocitajte vodorovne priecky na ciernej mrezi susedneho okna =
A.
Za zmienku este stoji zaujimavost, ze mini-pesia zona tu bola vytvorena len nedavno. Novovybudovany podjazd vznikol kvoli stabilizacii zakladov kostola, ktore vazne poskodzovali otrasy byvalej najrusnejsej krizovatky v meste.
STAGE II :: Svaty Florian
N 48°46.349' E 018°37.457'
Druha zastavka je blizko - socha svateho Floriana, patrona profesii, suviacich s ohnom - hasicov, hutnikov, kominarov, pekarov.
Zo zadnej strany podstavca si poznacte rok obnovy sochy - 19BC.
STAGE III :: Trojicny stlp
N 48°46.334' E 018°37.427'
Teraz vykrocte rovnakym smerom za dalsou narodnou kulturnou pamiatkou. Tento trojicny stlp s morovym susosim vyhotovil tiez Dionyz Stanetti v roku 1739. Vasou ulohou je urcit datovanie latinskeho napisu na jednom z troch stitov, orientovanom na juh.
Tu by ste mozno mali vediet co-to o chronogramoch: 1DE9.
STAGE IV :: Scuole pie
N 48°46.361' E 018°37.263'
Od poslednej, stvrtej zastavky, vas deli uz len prechadzka castou, ktoru stari Prievidzania volaju Zlata ulicka. Na jej konci vidite jednu z najkrajsich barokovych pamiatok v strednej Europe - kostol a klastor piaristov.
Polski piaristi prisli do Prievidze v roku 1666 na pozvanie grofky Frantisky Kuenovej-Palfiovej. Ako vyslovne skolska rehola zalozili strednu skolu na urovni, aku nemali ani ovela vacsie mesta. Jej tradicia pretrvava dodnes. Barokovy kostol Najsvatejsej Trojice bol vysvateny v roku 1753, potesi vas renovovana fasada, ktoru dokoncili len nedavno a urcite nevynechajte ani prehliadku interieru. Na zaver si z pamatnej tabule pri vchode do kolegia poznacte rok, kedy sem zavitali vyznamni hostia - 18FG.
