Bratislava Castle
Bratislava Castle is the defining landmark of the Slovak capital, sitting majestically on a rocky hill above the Danube River. The current structure dates from the 18th century Habsburg period, though fortifications have existed here since Celtic times. The castle houses the Slovak National Museum and offers magnificent views of Bratislava, the Danube, and on clear days, Austria and Hungary. The castle underwent major reconstruction after a devastating 1811 fire and Soviet-era restoration.
