Komárno is surrounded by remainders of a large system of forts, bastions, and fortifications in and around the towns of Komárno and Komárom (they were one town until the treaty of Trianon) on the banks of both the Dunaj and Váh rivers. The fortification system of town Komárno is the biggest fortification in Slovakia, and as a whole complex with fortifications on the Hungarian side of the Danube it is the biggest fortification in what used to be Austria-Hungary. Components of the central Fortress of Komárno at the confluence of Danube and Váh rivers:
- Old Fortress strengthened after the Mongol Invasion in 1424.
- New Fortress built from 1658.
City fortifications (with 16 large bastions and interconnecting walls):
Palatinus Line
Váh Line
Váh bridge-head on the left bank of Váh (and Danube).
Fort Monostor (Fort Sandberg) in Komárom on the right bank of Danube.
Fort Csillag (the Star Fort, csillag meaning "a star" in Hungarian language)
Fort Igmánd
