Štúrovo, Slovak Republic: viewed from the Hungarian bank of the River Danube. Štúrovo, previously named Parkan, is a small town opposite the Hungarian city of Ezstergom. The late 19th century Mária Valéria Bridge, seen in this image, named after Archduchess Marie Valerie of Austria (1868-1924) and designed by János Feketeházy (1842 - 1927), spans the River Danube and connects the two settlements of Štúrovo and Ezstergom. After World War II, Parkan became part of Czechoslovakia again (as it had been after World War I) and was renamed Štúrovo in 1948. The postwar period saw a major pulp and paper processing plant opened in the town, the Juhoslovenské celulózky a papierne (South Slovakian Pulpwood and Paper Works) in 1968. On 1 January 1993, Czechoslovakia separated peacefully into two new countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. D1360.B8119
