Freedom Square, Central square in Old Town, Bratislava, Slovakia
Freedom Square stretches across a large area featuring green spaces and numerous academic buildings belonging to the Slovak Technical University.
The square transformed from medieval vineyards into an urban space in the 17th century with the construction of the Summer Archbishop's Palace.
The square's central Fountain of Union contains a giant linden flower sculpture, measuring 9 meters in height and weighing 12 tons.
The square connects to multiple streets and provides access to government buildings, university facilities, and the central post office.
In 1897, Slovak inventor Ján Bahýľ conducted the first helicopter flight in the world from this location.
