Perched on a hill offering panoramic views of Bratislava, this solemn yet captivating Soviet-era war memorial stands as a tribute to the 6,845 Red Army soldiers who lost their lives liberating the city during World War II. With its towering 39-metre obelisk crowned by a bronze soldier triumphantly hoisting a flag, it’s a striking testament to the turbulent history of the region. Encircled by beautifully maintained gardens and numerous graves adorned with Soviet stars, the site offers a moment of reflection and serves as a poignant reminder of the past amid the serene landscape.
