Michalská brána / Michael's Gate, Bratislava / Pressburg The elegant onion-shaped roof of the Michael's Gate is one of the landmarks of the city of Bratislava. Of the original four entrance gates of the city fortifications, only the northern Michalská Gate has survived. It was completed in the 14th century. It was named after the Gothic church of St. Michal, which was located in front of the fortress and was demolished in the 16th century due to the incursions of Turkish troops. Since its creation, it was expanded several times until it acquired its final appearance in the 18th century, shortly before almost all of the city fortifications were demolished. Due to its high onion-shaped roof, the gate tower is one of the landmarks of the Old Town. The balcony offers a panoramic view of the Castle Hill, the roofs and towers of the city, and the villa district in the hills.

Maximilian Fountain / Maximiliánova fontána, Bratislava / Pressburg Maximilian's Fountain / Roland's Fountain The Maximilian Fountain was built in 1572 in the Austrian stonemason's workshop of Andreas Lutringer, with financial support from the Hungarian King Maximilian II. However, the fountain is better known as the Roland Fountain. It consists of a massive circular basin with a diameter of 9 meters. In the center of the basin stands a 10.5-meter-high column, on which stands a statue of a knight in armor; it is said that this is Roland, a legendary defender of the city's rights. Others believe it to be the statue of Maximilian II. To this day, a legend is associated with the fountain. The knight usually faces the Town Hall. But exactly once a year, when the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Day, he turns and leans towards the former town hall, in honor of the twelve councilors who gave their lives long ago to save the city. It is also said that he comes to life on Good Friday. On this occasion, he even moves in broad daylight, brandishing his sword Durandal in all four cardinal directions to show the city that it still enjoys his protection. However, it is said that he can only be seen by Bratislava natives, specifically those citizens with pure hearts who have never harmed anyone.

Slovak National Theatre - Opera House, Bratislava / Pressburg The Bratislava Opera House - officially known as the old building of the Slovak National Theatre - is a building in the neo-renaissance style, which was opened in 1886 as a city theatre. The opera house of the Slovak National Theatre, built in the neo-renaissance style, was built in 1884-86 as a city theatre. It is a building by the Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer, who specialized in theatre construction. The new theatre replaced the old city theatre from 1776, which no longer met current requirements. Busts of famous composers are integrated into the oval entrance façade, above which is the stone sculpture group 'Muse of Thalia' by the Viennese sculptor T. Friedl and to the side of it two putti, winged children's figures by V. Tilgner, which symbolize tragedy and comedy. The façade of the opera house is decorated with a terrace. You can get here from the salon and then have a wonderful view of the entire square in front of the opera house. The opera title Bánk Bán, written by the Hungarian composer Ferenc Erkel, was performed at the opening ceremony. The Slovak National Theatre was founded in 1920 under the direction of Oskar Nedbal, who helped it to attain great prestige. Its good reputation and top artists made this house an insider tip among connoisseurs of classical music. In front of the opera house, visitors can admire a beautiful Ganymede fountain from 1888. It was designed by the Bratislava-born sculptor Viktor Oskar Tilgner, who also created the monument to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Vienna's Burggarten. The fountain in front of the opera house conveys the Greek legend of Ganymede, how he was abducted by an eagle to Mount Olympus, where he would serve Zeus and experience eternal youth in return. This is reflected to this day in the boy's happy expression. The sculpture is completed by fish and animals living in the Danube.
