Perched majestically atop a hill, the iconic structure in Slovakia's capital city offers a striking view of Bratislava and the serene Danube River. With its toy-like four corner towers and grand Renaissance details, it has captured imaginations for centuries. Its origins date back to the 9th century, but it has seen many avatars—a royal residence, military fortification, and even a university. Legend has it that Empress Maria Theresa once transformed it into her splendid palace. Inside, wander through curated halls of Slovak history and art, or simply marvel at the panoramic splendour from its lush gardens.
