Sightseeing in Bratislava

St. Martin's cathedral

Located on Rudnayovo námestie at the Danube. This church was the old Hungarian kingdom's coronation church, and it is currently partly under renovation. Between 1563-1830, 11 kings and 8 consorts were crowned here. It is the most prominent Gothic building in the city.

Bratislava Castle

From Hussites to Maria Theresa to the twentieth century's wars, this castle has seen it all. Queen Maria Theresa, who spent much of her time in Bratislava, did major renovations in the eighteenth century before the capital of the Empire reverted to Buda. It was bombed during the world war and turned into the central Communist ministry building in the 1950s.

Primate's Palace

Immediately behind the Old Town Hall is one of the greatest neo-Classical buildings in Slovakia. It was built 1778-1781 for the bishops of Esztergom, Hungarian primates of the bishopric, by architect M. Hefele. What many people forget is that Slovakia was not an independent country until this century - it was a part of either Hungary or the Austro-Hungarian Empire for hundreds of years.

Slovak National Theatre

Fronted by a tiny square which trails off into a colonnade of trees similar to the walks in many small spa towns, the Slovak National Theatre is built on the location of the city's original professional theatre. That first theatre, built in 1776, was improved upon by Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer 1884-1886.

Michael's Gate

Michael's Gate is the only remaining gate from the original medieval city fortifications. The original Gothic tower was redone in Baroque style 1753-58, when the copper statue of Archangel Michael was placed on top. There is a display of medieval art and weapons in the tower which give some sense of Bratislava's military and trade significance early on.
