Similar to the previous works of this series, devoted to Novohrad and Tekovo, the region presented in this book can undoubtedly be included among those that have not been practically explored in the works of Slovak historians to date. Despite the fact that it was one of the smallest in all of Hungary, the see of Ostrihom played an important role not only in the history of the Danube area, but also with Ostrihom as the seat of the Hungarian primate, the archbishop of Ostrihom, and one of the three cities that formed the so-called medium regni (center of the kingdom), also in the history of today's Slovakia. The book thus presents in Slovak for the first time ever the history of the castle hill, the old Roman fortress – the seat of the oldest Arpad family, where the first Hungarian king Stefan was born, and later the church center with magnificent cathedral, seat of the first Hungarian archdiocese. The history of the original settlement on the banks of the Danube, the so-called the royal city of Ostrihom, bordered by a large moat, also the "New Town", which was built by the archbishop directly under the castle as a counterweight, and other villages and towns not only in front of and behind the mentioned moat, but also in the wider surroundings of Ostrihom, as well as in the Danube region (the territory of today's Slovakia), as well as the trans-Danube part of the capital's territory.
The goal of the work was to compile the most detailed housing map of the region based on primary sources and their editions. The book further describes the church organization, the economic potential of the examined territory (mining, milling, fishing, markets and others) and its road network. The main chapter consists of an overview of the settlement structure, where the history of the settlement units that were located on the territory of the Ostrihom capital is summarized in a concise dictionary form. Separate sub-chapters and passwords belong to monasteries and collegiate chapters specific to this region (12 in total), as well as
