Six bells of Zitava Piece are dominant part of interesting memorial that stands in center of village Radvan nad Dunajom, south-west Slovakia.

Zitava Peace (or Peace of Zsitvatorok) was a peace treaty which ended the Fifteen Years' War between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy on November 11, 1606. The treaty was part of a system of peace treaties which put an end to the anti-Habsburg uprising of Stephen Bocskay (1604–1606).

The treaty was signed at the former mouth of the Zitava River (Hungarian: Zsitva), which flows into the Danube in Royal Hungary (today's Slovakia). This location would later become the small settlement of Zitavská Tona (Hungarian: Zsitvatorok), a part of the municipality of Radvan nad Dunajom.

The memorial was built by the occasion of 400th anniversary in year 2006, exactly at the place where treaty was signed.



Sestica zvonov na pamatniku Zitavskeho mieru je jeho dominantnou sucastou. Tento zaujimavy pamatnik stoji v centre Radvane nad Dunajom od roku 2006. Bol tu postaveny pri prilezitosti 400. vyrocia podpisania mierovej dohody.

Zitavsky mier (madarsky Zsitvatoroki béke) je mierova dohoda, ktora ukonciala Patnastrocnu vojnu medzi Osmanskou risou a Habsburgovcami 11. novembra 1606. Dohoda bola sucastou mierových dohod, ktore ukoncili protihabsburgské povstania Stefana Bocskaya (1604-1606).

Dohoda bola podpisana pri povodnom usti rieky Zitava do Dunaja. Na tomto mieste neskor vznikla osada Zitavská Tona (madarsky: Zsitvatorok), ktora je v sucasnosti sucastou obce Radvan nad Dunajom. Po umelych zasahoch do toku rieky dnes Zitava usti do rieky Nitra pri Martovciach.
