Nitriansky Hrádok is a district of a town of Šurany, Slovakia. This settlement was annexed to Šurany in 1976.[1]
A significant amount of archaeological material have been found at the tell Zámeček (the name means "small castle", "château"), settlement layers of which trace estimated 5,000 years back. For this reason this place has become known as "Slovakian Troy".[2][3]
A famous find was a neolithic figurine of sitting woman. It was dubbed Hrádocká Venuša (Venus[4] of Hradok). The figurine is depicted on the 2-koruna coin. In 1997 a monument by Jaroslav Gubric was installed, which is an enlarged copy of the figurine. [2][3]
