Barca (Hungarian: Bárca) is a borough (city ward) of Košice, Slovakia. Located in the Košice IV district, it lies at an altitude of roughly above sea level, and is home to over 3,600 people. The borough is generally rural in nature.
It was originally a village in its own right, the first written record about Barca dating back to 1215.
In the latter half of the 20th century, Barca lost village municipality status and was annexed to Košice as one of its boroughs.
One of the principal features within contemporary Barca's catastral territory is Košice International Airport, which is the second largest in Slovakia.
Some of the historical names of Barca.
In the medieval period, the village included a small castle of local noblemen, later demolished and replaced by a manor house of the Bárczay noble family. The manor house stands to this day and has undergone restoration works during the 2010s.
Barca has several more former manor houses, specifically the manor house of the Zichy family and the Berzeviczi family manor house.
The main churches of the borough are the Roman Catholic Church of St Peter and St Paul and the local Reformed church.
