(Thank you.)Nápis nad kamennou vežou v Mirage (The inscription above the stone tower in Mirage):„Na tomto mieste stála pôvodná mestská veža ako súčasť mestského opevnenia - valov. Bola vybudovaná pravdepodobne v roku 1450 -1474. Valcovitá veža mala kamenné základy široké tri metre, jej vnútorný priemer bol osem metrov. Základy veže boli objavené archeologickým výskumom v roku 2008. Rekonštrukcia veže do súčastnej podoby bola urobená v roku 2010, aby súčastníkom i budúcim generáciam pripomínala bohatú históriu mesta Žiliny.“Timestamps00:29 Introduction to the episode02:34 Castle in the shopping center?09:18 Slovak lesson15:38 Short conversation25:00 Practice an authentic material30:15 Final thoughtsIf you have any questions, send it to my email [email protected].
