Royal Palace of Bratislava Castle, Gothic palace in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The Royal Palace of Bratislava Castle is a large fortress with four towers positioned on a hill overlooking the Danube River. The structure features a rectangular layout and has shaped the city's skyline for centuries.
The castle was founded in the 10th century and later served as a royal residence when the city was known as Pressburg. Major renovations in the 18th century transformed the building's appearance and interior.
The palace holds exhibitions that showcase local traditions and the development of Slovak society through centuries. Visitors walk through rooms filled with objects that tell stories about the region's past and people.
The palace is easily accessible by public transportation and offers guided tours in multiple languages. Wear comfortable shoes since you will climb paths on a hill to reach the entrance.
The castle fell into disrepair for many decades before undergoing major restoration in the 1950s. This work saved the structure from collapse and restored it as a key landmark for the city.
