Metlika
Metlika se v pisnih virih prvič omenja leta 1228 kot Metlica. Ime izhaja iz slovenskega skupnega samostalnika metlika 'gosja noga', torej se nanaša na lokalno rastlinstvo. V preteklosti je bilo nemško ime Möttling.
Arheološki dokazi kažejo, da je bilo območje poseljeno že od prazgodovine. Od leta 1205 je bila Metlika vključena na Kranjsko cesarsko obmejno področje, mestne privilegije pa so ji podelili leta 1335. Pogosto so jo napadali med osmanskimi pohodi v 15. in 16. stoletju. V 17. stoletju jo je prizadel potres in leta 1705 je celotno mesto v velikem požaru zgorelo do tal.
Grad Metlika
Metliški grad je iz 15. stoletja.
Grad je bil prvič omenjen v pisnih virih leta 1456. Med osmanskimi vpadi v 15. in 16. stoletju je bil last grofov Alap in je imel ključno vlogo v obrambi pred Turki. Kasneje je bil grad last Frankopanove hiše, kasneje pa še kapitlja zagrebške škofije.
V 18. stoletju je bil grad dvakrat (leta 1705 in 1790) poškodovan požar. Grad je preživel drugo svetovno vojno nedotaknjen, nato pa so ga brez nadomestila podržavili in preuredili v Muzej Bele Kranjske, ustanovljenega leta 1951. Eksponati vključujejo kulturno zgodovino Bele Krajine, zbirke rimskih in srednjeveških kamnitih markerjev in spomenikov ter etnološko zbirko o zgodovinskem načinu življenja v Beli Krajini. V nekdanjih grajskih hlevih in drugih gospodarskih poslopjih je Slovenski gasilski muzej Metlika. Drugo nadstropje vsebuje poročno dvorano, v kleti pa vinsko klet. Grad ima tudi galerijo Gangl za začasne razstave, ki je del Muzeja Bele Krajine.

ARGGGGG This is in Slovenia, not Slovakia. When you travel so much and hit many cities its hard sometimes not to get confused. But there are no excuses. I am sorry. Slovenia is GREAT!
From Wikipedia
Kranj (pronounced [ˈkɾàːn] (listen), German: Krainburg[3]) is the fourth-largest city in Slovenia, with a population of 37,373 (2015). It is located approximately 20 kilometres (12 miles) northwest of Ljubljana. The centre of the City Municipality of Kranj and of the traditional region of Upper Carniola (northwestern Slovenia) is a mainly industrial city with significant electronics and rubber industries.
The nucleus of the city is a well-preserved medieval old town, built at the confluence of the Kokra and Sava rivers. The city is served by the Kranj railway station on the route from Ljubljana to Munich, Germany (via Jesenice and Villach, Austria) and a highway. Slovenia's national airport, Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (in Brnik) is also very close to Kranj, considerably more so than its nominal client, Ljubljana.
Kranj was attested in written sources in the 5th century and c. 670 as Carnium (and as via Chreinariorum in 973, actum Kreine in 1050–65, in loco Chreina in 1065–77, and Chrainburch in 1291). The Slovene name is derived from Slavic *Korn’ь, borrowed from Romance Carnium in late antiquity. Like the Latin regional name Carnia, it is derived from the northern Italic (Celtic) tribe known as the Carnī (Greek: Κάρνοι). The name of the tribe is probably derived from the Celtic root *karno- 'peak, hill, pile of stones'.[4] The German name of the town was Krainburg.[5] The name of the historical region of Carniola is a Latin diminutive form of Carnia.[4]
Archaeological finds show that Kranj was settled in prehistoric times. Discoveries include a bronze ax found in Drulovka, Hallstatt-era graves in the northern part of the town above the bank of the Kokra River, testifying to Illyrian settlement, and a burial site in the southern part of the town above the left bank of the Sava River, indicating a Celtic settlement. The Romans founded the settlement of Carnium at the confluence of the Sava and Kokra. In the 6th century, a major Germanic settlement stood at the same site, and an Ostrogothic cemetery was discovered nearby. The Gothic settlement was continued by the Lombards and existed until c. AD 580, when it was destroyed by invading Slavs.[6]
Traces of the old Slavic settlement (a Slavic burial site) date from the 9th and 10th centuries. As the seat of the margraves of Carniola in the 11th century, it was the most important settlement in the territory. The town itself is believed to have developed in the early 13th century; citizens of the town of Kranj appear in a document from 1221, and Kranj was officially referred to as a town in 1256. It was the seat of a court whose jurisdiction extended between that of Radovljica and Kamnik. In 1414 a decision was issued relieving the citizens of the town from paying tolls. In 1422 an ordinance required houses to be built of stone to prevent fires. A parish school was established in Kranj in 1423, and the same year the right was granted to Kranj to elect its own judge. Kranj was laid waste in 1471 in an Ottoman attack. Emperor Frederick III granted Kranj the right to collect tolls in documents from 1488 and 1493, and a 1493 document also granted the town the right to hold fairs twice a year. The town hospice records date back to the 15th century.[6]
Crafts developed in Kranj during the Middle Ages. Mills first developed along the Sava and Kokra rivers, and this was followed by butchers, fur merchants, hide and wood processors, and then weavers of canvas and woolen cloth. Habsburg efforts to maintain Vienna's monopoly on trade with Italy resulted in trade routes bypassing Kranj.[6]
Kranj was affected by peasant revolts in the 16th century; the leaders of the 1515 peasant revolt were beheaded in Kranj, and in 1525, when a new revolt threatened Carniola, hussars commanded by Johann Katzianer occupied the town and caused more damage than the Ottomans had inflicted half a century earlier. In 1668 half of the houses in Kranj were destroyed by a fire, and the entire town burned in 1749. Kranj was affected by plague outbreaks in 1552, 1557, 1625, 1627, and 1657. In the mid-16th century, most of the townspeople converted to Protestantism; the merchants of Kranj opened a Protestant school and Slovenian books by Protestant authors were imported from Germany. The Protestant Reformation in Kranj was led by Gašpar Rokavec, who was succeeded by Jernej Knafel after his death. Knafel was forced to withdraw from Kranj to Brdo Castle during the Counter-Reformation.[6]
Economically, teamster services developed in Kranj in the 16th century, with connections to the rest of Upper Carniola and Carinthia. There were also several blacksmith workshops and two foundries along the Sava River.
