SIGHTS AT A GLANCE
Founded by the Celts in the 2nd century BC,
Bratislava is Slovakia’s administrative centre and
has long been the focus of the country’s social
and cultural life. It became the capital of
Slovakia in 1993. Today, with a population of
4 million, it is the country’s largest city. Most of
the historic sights are located in the Old Town
cen tre on the left bank of the Danube (Dunaj)
river. Some of the finest buildings, such as the
Mirbach Palace and the Old Town Hall, can be
seen around Franciscan Square (Františkánské
námestie). West of the town centre, Bratislava
Castle offers fantastic views over the city.
