The most famous building in Bratislava, whose image is displayed on souvenirs, is Bratislava Castle, as it is called here, the local castle, which rises on a hill above the city. It consists of four wings connected by four low towers. Hail appeared in Bratislava in the days of the Slavs, the ancestors of modern Slovaks, in the VIII century. Then it was a wooden fortress, which two centuries later was replaced by a stone castle. It was visited by Friedrich Barbarossa, who gathered his armies under the castle grounds to go on a river of conquest.

Good photos and an interesting story from the guide, but it does not leave vivid impressions on its own. Guides do not pay much attention to this object
