Primate's Palace, Neoclassical palace in Old Town, Bratislava, Slovakia

The Primate's Palace displays grand columns, symmetrical shapes, and white exterior walls adorned with decorative statues and a central tympanum featuring Cardinal Batthyányi's coat of arms.

The Hall of Mirrors witnessed the signing of the Peace of Pressburg treaty between France and Austria in 1805, leading to the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire.

The palace contains six English tapestries from the 1630s Mortlake royal workshop, discovered behind a wall during the 1903 renovation works.

The palace functions as both the official seat of Bratislava's mayor and a museum open to visitors, featuring five color-themed salons with period furniture.

A 150-kilogram iron cardinal hat tops the building, while the courtyard fountain depicts Saint George slaying a dragon according to local traditions.
