    The largest square in Bratislava with an area of approximately 200 x 200 meters was built between 1946 and 1951. In 1980 the square was converted into a park. It received its current name after the Velvet Revolution in November 1989. The locals still call the square "Gottko", after the former president Klement Gottwald, who gave it its name.

      The fountain in the middle of the largest square in Bratislava translates as Friendship and depicts a linden tree blossom.

        Freedom Square is the largest square in Bratislava.
        In the Middle Ages, there were vineyards on the current square. The square probably came into being in the 17th century after the construction of the Archbishop's Summer Palace on the west side of the square, which now serves as a government building.
        In the period after World War II, the square and its surroundings were rebuilt. In 1946–1951, the Postal Palace was built on the north side, which now houses the Ministry of Transport of the Slovak Republic; on the south and east sides, buildings of the current Slovak Technical University were built. In 1980, the whole square was turned into a park; in the center there is a fountain called Družba (Friendship). In the middle of the fountain there is a stainless steel linden blossom with a diameter of 9 meters, a Slavic symbol.
