Primate’s Palace
About

The Primate’s Palace is one of Bratislava’s finest neoclassical landmarks, built between 1778 and 1781 for Archbishop József Batthyány. Its elegant pale pink façade and classical statues make it a standout in the city’s Old Town. The palace is best known for its Hall of Mirrors, where the Treaty of Pressburg was signed in 1805, marking a pivotal moment in European history. Inside, visitors can admire portraits of Hungarian rulers, period furniture, and a rare collection of 17th-century English tapestries, discovered hidden within the walls during a 1903 reconstruction. The courtyard fountain, depicting St. George slaying a dragon, adds to the palace’s charm. Today, it serves as the seat of the Mayor of Bratislava, but its historic halls remain open for tours and cultural events. Located on Primaciálne Square, the palace is a must-visit for history lovers and architecture enthusiasts.
