It is an architectural landmark of cultural, historical and social significance that bears the mark of the socialist spirit combined with pro-western design and overall atmosphere. Uzhhorod is the center of the Zakarpattya region located at the border with Slovakia and near the border with Hungary. With the architectural and historical heritage of its Austrian-Hungarian, Czechoslovak and Soviet background as well as a vibrant local contemporary art scene, Uzhhorod is among the key culture centres in western Ukraine.
