The construction of Eurovea City contributed to a significant revitalization of the original industrial area of the city which was hit by the United States bombing in 1944 during World War II.

Before the construction of Eurovea, the area featured numerous older small buildings along Pribinova Street, including the Stoka Theater that were demolished. The riverfront area was almost empty. At the beginning of construction, in the area left only three buildings, that are currently part of Eurovea City - new building of Slovak National Theatre, national cultural monument Warehouse No. 7 and office building Tower 115.

The architecture of Slovakia has a long, rich and diverse history. Besides Roman ruins, Slovakia hosts several Romanesque and Gothic castles and churches, most notably Spiš Castle, which were built at the time of the Kingdom of Hungary. Renaissance architecture was of particular relevance in town hall squares, such as in Bardejov and Levoča. Affluent architecture in the following centuries made use of Baroque, Rococo and historicist styles, while vernacular architecture in the countryside developed a specific style of wooden houses and wooden churches.
