franciscan church

Slovakia, Bratislava
The temple is located in the historical center of Bratislava. It contains the relics of a 4th-century preacher, Saint Reparat. This is perhaps the oldest religious building in the Old Town - it was built by the Hungarian king Laszlo IV at the end of the 13th century. True, during its centuries-old history, this Catholic church has suffered from fires and earthquakes more than once, so that only a small part of the original structure has survived to this day. The church was built in the Gothic style, but in the 17-18 centuries it was rebuilt first in the Renaissance style, and then in the Baroque style. The temple owes its name to the Franciscan monastery built in the 14th century - a Catholic mendicant monastic order.

On Franciscan Square in Bratislava, which is located next to the Main Square, is one of the most important churches in the capital, consecrated in honor of the Annunciation, but popularly called the Franciscan Church. It was built in the late thirteenth century, so it can be argued that this temple is the oldest preserved in the Slovak capital. This church was founded by the ruler of Hungary Laszlo IV, and another king, Andrá s III, was present at its consecration. Built in the Gothic style, the church has undergone many changes throughout its history.
