Tornaľa (formerly Šafárikovo, ) is a town and municipality in Revúca District in the Banská Bystrica Region of Slovakia, with a population of approximately 7,000.
==History== The first written record of the settlement dates back from 1245. The town was located in the Kingdom of Hungary until the second half of the 19th century. During the periods 1554 - 1593 and 1596 - 1686, Tornaľa was ruled by the Ottoman Empire as part of Filek sanjak with its centre in Rimaszombat). Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Tornaľa was part of Gömör and Kishont County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1938 to 1944, it was again part of Hungary as a result of the First Vienna Award. On 19 December 1944, Soviet troops of the 2nd Ukrainian Front entered Tornaľa. It became part of Czechoslovakia once again.
