Review:
Built for Archbishop Jozsef Batthyany from 1778 to 1781, the Primate's Palace can be found in the Old Town of Bratislava. The neoclassical palace was the location of some of Slovakia’s most historic events, including the signing of the fourth Peace of Pressburg, which ended the War of the Third Coalition. Today, visitors can explore the palace, which now serves as the seat of the mayor of Bratislava. In addition to the stunning architecture and decor, the courtyard is one of the favored aspects of the palace. There, visitors can see a fountain of St. George, the legendary knight who fought a dragon in a struggle that is symbolically similar to the Catholic Church’s efforts to banish reformation of the city.
