If you are visiting Bratislava, you should not miss a visit of Bratislava castle. Is is dominating the city skyline for many centuries. In the middle of the 16th century, Bratislava became the official coronation town for Hungarian Kings and at the castle there was a residence of the king.
The south-west tower – also known as the jewel’s tower – housed the Hungarian coronation jewels for two centuries.The last large reconstruction in Baroque style took place under the reign of Maria Theresia (1740-1780). In 1811, the castle was burnt down and only ruins were left. It was reconstructed in 1956-68.
Visiting renovated castle and the park is a great choice for relaxing afternoon also offering a very nice city view.
