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.

Whoever is up here in the UFO should go to the toilet and then to the counter.

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.

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.

Maximilian's Fountain, also known as Roland's Fountain, is one of the oldest and most famous fountains in Bratislava. It is located on the Main Square, which is the heart of the old town. The fountain was built in 1572 by order of the Hungarian King Maximilian II. as a public well, which was to serve as a source of water for the city's residents and at the same time as protection against fires. The construction of the fountain was designed and built by the stonemason Andreas Lutringer, who incorporated elements of the Renaissance style into the design, which was very popular at the time. The fountain has a simple but elegant design. The dominant feature is the statue of a knight on top, who is often associated with the legendary knight Roland, the protective patron of city rights. Therefore, the fountain is often referred to as Roland's Fountain. The knight holds a sword and shield, which symbolizes justice and the defense of the city. Overall, the fountain has a round base, from which several steps rise, and a main pillar with a knight in the middle. Stone tanks are set on the edge to collect water. The fountain has been renovated several times, while its basic form has always been preserved. Maximilian's Fountain is surrounded by several legends. One of them says that the statue of the knight rotates around its axis every midnight to bow to the city as a sign of respect. Another legend says that the knight jumps off his pedestal if the city is in danger and defends it from enemies. The fountain had a practical purpose, but over time it also became a place for social gatherings and a symbol of the city. Over the centuries, it has witnessed many historical events, including markets, festivals, and major city celebrations. Today, Maximilian's Fountain is not only an important historical monument, but also a popular meeting place for locals and tourists. It is surrounded by a number of historic buildings, restaurants and cafes, which adds to its atmosphere and attractiveness.
