Summary/Abstract: Since the Middle Ages the town of Trnava has been shaped as an important social, economic, religious and cultural centre. The educational and artistic level of the town is also represented by many writers, poets and cultural workers who have created their works of literary art here. The article focuses on six Trnava literary-cultural initiatives through which the city has made significant contributions to the history of national literature. At least in outline we will cover the literary works of authors, literary generations, formal or informal groups, from the Renaissance to the second half of the 20th century, which have to this day remained a solid part of the Slovak literary identity. Chronologically, these literary phenomena are concerned: Trnava during the Renaissance period, Trnava of the Baroque university erudition, Bernolák´s generation, Osvald´s group, Trnava of the Avant-Garde and the Trnavian group (Concretists). The knowledge of the literary history of the city will be put in the context of the existing system of monuments which mark the places where the literary life was organized, and we also plan to use them as educational excursion opportunities for students and visitors to Trnava.
