The Primate's Palace, built at the beginning of the 19th century in the neoclassical style, captivates with its delicate pink façade and the elegant columns at the main entrance. Inside, the magnificent Hall of Mirrors impresses, reflecting eight enormous tapestries depicting scenes from Hungarian history. A stroll through the tranquil courtyard and manicured gardens invites you to take a breather before continuing on to the neighboring Jesuitengasse and into the winding alleys of the Old Town. The palace is not only architecturally remarkable, but also a site of historical significance: It was here that Napoleon signed the Peace of Pressburg after his coronation in 1805.

The late Gothic St. Martin's Cathedral in the heart of Bratislava impresses with its striking tower, delicate pointed arches, and ornate gargoyles. Once the coronation site of Hungarian kings, the interior captivates with colorful stained glass windows and Baroque Rococo details. A quick detour here is worthwhile—especially for photos with a view of the Old Town and Castle Hill.

St. Martin's Cathedral is the oldest and most important church in Bratislava. It is located on the edge of the Old Town below the castle and served as the coronation church of Hungarian kings for centuries. Its tower, with its golden St. Stephen's Crown, is particularly striking.

Primatial Palace, Bratislava / Pressburg The Primatial Palace was built on the orders of Cardinal Joseph Count of Batthyány as the most magnificent and largest stately residence in the city. The 18th century classicist palace witnesses the signing of the Peace of Bratislava, which was concluded after the Battle of Austerlitz, which was won by Napoleon I. This happened during the golden years of the then capital of Hungary, just before it lost this status. The Viennese architect Melchior Hefele created his design in French classicism and this unique winter residence of the Archbishop of Gran (Esztergom) was completed in 1781. Occasionally the palace provided accommodation for the kings after the coronation ceremony. Since 1903 it has been the town hall and houses a unique collection of six English tapestries from the 17th century. The representative first floor is open to the public and is considered the biggest tourist attraction. The beautiful Hall of Mirrors is also located here, where concerts are held and weddings are also held. The palace can be visited every day except Mondays between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. On Sundays and public holidays, masses are celebrated in the St. Ladislaus Chapel at 8 a.m. Text / Source: Ministry of Tourism and Sports of the Slovak Republic, Bratislava / Pressburg https://www.visitbratislava.com/de/setzt/primatialpalais/

St. Martin's Cathedral, Bratislava / Pressburg The Gothic three-aisled church from the 15th century is considered the coronation church of the Hungarian kings. The three-aisled Gothic cathedral of Bratislava was built on the site of an earlier Romanesque church from 1221, which was dedicated to the Holy Saviour. It was here that Ludwig van Beethoven performed his work Missa solemnis for the first time in Pressburg in 1835. A few years later, in 1884, Franz Liszt also conducted a Hungarian coronation mass here. The cathedral is without doubt one of the largest and best preserved Gothic religious buildings in Bratislava. Its construction began at the beginning of the 14th century, on the site where a Romanesque church had previously stood. Many masters were involved in the extension and expansion, including those who built St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. The most famous include Hans Puchsbaum and Anton Pilgram. The temple was consecrated in 1452, but it did not take on its final form until 1510. The 18th century saw another reconstruction in the Baroque style, which was again carried out by the most talented artists. The last change in the Gothic style followed in the middle of the 19th century. The cathedral can be admired in this form more or less to this day.

The Primate's Palace in Bratislava is one of the most important and beautiful historical buildings in the capital of Slovakia. It is located on the Primacial Square in the historic center of the city, not far from the Main Square and the Old Town Hall. The palace is significant not only for its architecture, but also for the historical events that took place there. The Primate's Palace was built between 1778 and 1781 for the Ostrihom Archbishop Jozef Batthyányi, who was the Primate of Hungary. The palace was designed and built by the architect Melchior Hefele in the neoclassical style. Its construction was motivated by the need for a representative residence for the archbishop, who at that time played an important role in the political and religious life of Hungary. An important event took place in the Primate's Palace in 1805 - the signing of the so-called of the Peace of Bratislava between France and Austria after the Battle of Slavkov, where Napoleon Bonaparte achieved a decisive victory. This peace document was signed in the Palace's Hall of Mirrors, which is still one of its most beautiful interiors. The Primate's Palace is considered one of the most beautiful examples of neoclassical architecture in Bratislava. The facade of the palace is symmetrical and elegant, with a prominent central ridge, which is topped by a tympanum with the coat of arms of Archbishop Batthyányi. At the top of the tympanum is a statue of St. George, the archbishop's patron. The interior of the palace is equally impressive, with magnificent state rooms, among which the Hall of Mirrors stands out, where important social and political events took place. Another interesting space is the chapel, which was used for the archbishop's private prayers. One of the rarest artistic treasures in the Primate's Palace are the so-called English tapestries from the 17th century. These beautiful tapestries depict the story of the tragic love between Hero and Leander, inspired by ancient mythology. The tapestries are unique not only for their beauty, but also for the fact that they were only found in 1903 during the reconstruction of the palace, when they were discovered embedded in the walls of one of the rooms. Today, the Primate's Palace serves as the residence of the mayor of Bratislava and is also open to the public. Visitors can explore its magnificent interiors, including the Hall of Mirrors and a gallery that exhibits rare tapestries. The palace is often used for official meetings, concerts, exhibitions and other cultural events. Its courtyard, which is open to the public, is a popular place to relax and socialize.
