Bratislava: Bratislava Castle
Bratislava Castle lies along the Danube, crowning a prominent hill above the Slovak capital’s compact historic centre. Its white rectangular palace with four corner towers is the city’s defining architectural landmark, overlooking the Old Town and the river corridor linking Bratislava with Austria and Hungary. The site was fortified in the early Middle Ages; after a devastating fire in 1811 left the complex in ruins for more than a century, it was reconstructed in the second half of the 20th century. Today the castle contains the Slovak National Museum’s Museum of History. Castle Hill also includes a formal Baroque garden and stands close to St Martin’s Cathedral, where Hungarian monarchs were crowned between 1563 and 1830.
