브라티슬라바‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

이 분수는 프란치스코 광장에 있는 프란치스코 님펜 분수(Nymfa Františka라고도 함)입니다. 이 분수는 원래 16세기(약 1592년)에 만들어졌습니다. 오늘날 보이는 님프 조각상과 수반은 1804년에 만들어졌으며 페이글러 석공 가문이 제작했습니다. 이 분수는 이전에 시청 안뜰로 옮겨졌다가 1998년에 원래 위치로 돌아왔습니다.

독일의 작가이자 시인인 Reinhold BRAUN(1879-1959)은 다음 시에서 산을 오르는 사람에게 깊고 행복한 정상에서의 휴식을 추천했습니다: „어떤 이들은 서둘러 산에 오르고 너무 짧은 정상 휴식을 취하며 아름다움도 햇살도 보지 못하고, 단지 '정상에 있었다'는 것만을 원하며, 일상의 감각과 시선으로 삶의 계곡으로 돌아온다. 진정으로 축복받고 싶다면, 영혼이 맑고 순수하게 방황하기를 원한다면: 하이킹으로 얻은 것을 즐겨라, 깊고 행복한 정상에서의 휴식 속에서!“

조각과 회화의 거장 알로이스 리겔레(Alois Rigele)는 그의 뛰어난 작품들에서 고전주의와 아르누보의 공존을 구현합니다. 특히 "사슴과 소녀"라는 조각상은 우아함과 고상함의 인상적인 표현을 전달합니다. 흐비에즈도슬라프 광장(Hviezdoslav-Platz)에 전시된 이 조각상은 리겔레의 기술적 숙련도뿐만 아니라 인간과 동물 간의 감정과 관계를 포착하는 그의 능력을 보여줍니다. 그의 작품의 세밀한 정확성과 조화로운 구성은 인간의 형태와 자연에 대한 그의 깊은 이해를 증명합니다. 실내 조각과 입상 외에도 리겔레는 수많은 초상화 판과 기념비를 제작했으며, 이는 대상의 개성과 본질을 생생하게 표현합니다. 하지만 리겔레는 조각에서만 자신의 표현을 찾은 것이 아니라 벽화에서도 그의 흔적을 남겼습니다. 이는 프레스부르크(Pressburg) 예수회 교회의 화려한 성가대석에서 볼 수 있습니다.

The elegant fountain directly in front of the Presidential Palace draws all eyes with its clear water jets and ornate bronze sculptures. Surrounded by manicured green spaces and benches, it invites you to take a refreshing break while admiring the palace's magnificent façade. An ideal photo stop and place to take a breather on your tour of Bratislava.

The fountain with a double tank made of white material is decorated in the upper part with a sculpture depicting a sitting girl with a doe. The sculpture is made of reddish stone. On the north side, at the girl's foot, there is an inscription engraved: "A. Rigele 1938, R. Kuhmayer 1942". The sculpture is the work of the famous Bratislava sculptor Alojz Rigele, who, however, did not have time to finish it. After his death, another famous Bratislava sculptor, Robert Kuhmayer, completed it in 1942. The theme of the sculpture was based on a Grimm's fairy tale, and accordingly the name "Braček a sestrichka" (Little Brother and Sister) was also used. https://muop.bratislava.sk/fontana-dievca-so-srnkou/d-2391

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. Excerpts from https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A1mestie_slobody

The gigantic Slavín war memorial can be seen from many places in the city. Located on a hill above the castle, it commemorates the liberation of the city by the Red Army in April 1945. The largest war memorial in Central Europe, at 52 meters, towers over the city as an unmissable dominant feature. The gigantic Slavín memorial stands on a hill with a view of Bratislava Castle and most of the city. 6845 soldiers of the Soviet Army found their resting place in this military cemetery. All of them fought for the liberation of Bratislava during the last weeks of World War II. The city was finally liberated in April 1945. The 39.5 meter high pillar is dominated by the memorial, a statue of a victorious Soviet soldier with a flag. The central hall of honor with various statues is decorated with inscriptions of Slovak cities that the Soviet Army liberated in 1944-1945. Slavín was built between 1957 and 1960 on the site of a Soviet war cemetery and opened to the public on April 3, 1960, on the 15th anniversary of the liberation of the city. In 1961 it was declared a national cultural monument. It is an example of the monumental style of Soviet architecture. The monument was placed in the middle of a wealthy district with villas from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the interwar period and modern architectural showpieces. Not far away is a beautiful mountain park - Horský park, which invites you to take a peaceful walk in the green.
