MarZ Kreations Photo Gallery (by Stephen Mifsud)

Bratislava, 1 day visit to the Capital City of Slovakia (June 2006)

This photogallery consists of many photos from a 1 day visit to the capital city of Slovakia, called Bratislava, during my and my wife holiday in Budapest together with my friend Etienne and his girlfriend Analise.

As many central and Eastern Europe cities, Bratislava consists of the central old town surrounded by more modern apartments, shops, street and flats. The old town of Bratislava is of course the most popular site with tourists. One of the good news was that no vehicles are allowed in old town, so it feels less chaotic than Budapest. Another good news for us was that the town is rather small and most of it can be seen (quickly!) during our 1 day stay. The bad news was that in the afternoon it started to rain, and not well prepared for that we had to leave back earlier than planned, and so did not made it to visit the castle. However, from the photos seen in this gallery, we had seen quite a lot.

BratislavaPhoto_5057 * Micheals Gate (tunnel not shown in the photo) on which this large tower is built upon.   It was a part of the original city fortifications. It was build in the beginning of 14th century and it used to be one of the four entrances to the city in the Middle Ages (the only one preserved). Its name is derived from St. Michael, the patron saint of St. Michael's Church, once standing next to the gate, in front of the city fortification. After the Battle at Mohac in 1526 Turks threatened also Bratislava, therefore the city council had pulled the church down and the stones from it were used to strengthen and extend the Michael's Gate itself. The Michael's Tower was reconstructed in the Baroque style in the 18th century. Today the tower houses the Exhibition of Weapons of the City Museum.
