Bratislava

Hello!I would like to tell you something about my city.It is called Bratislava.Bratislava lies in west Slovakia.It is very nice and small town.

Bratislava was called Prešporok or Presburg till the year of 1919. Nearly 427thousands people live in Bratislava.President and his politics have a parlament here. There is a president house too. There are many historical landmarks such as:Dome of saint Martin,Primational Palace,House of good shepherd,Gassalkovich palace known as president palace,Slovak national gallery,Michaels gate.

There are many bridges too.They are very important because they connect Petrzalka with old part of the town (there is new part of the town,too).Petrzalka was created because of river(Dunaj) crossing straight trough the Bratislava.There are four bridges:Old Bridge built in 1890 and been rebuilt in 1945.Second one is Port Bridge built in 1985.Third one the Bridge Lafranconi built in 1992 and the newest one Bridge Apollo built in 2005.

I think one of the most important building is National Bank (picture over).It is quite impressive -mirror building :D .It is 111 m high.National bank is second in the biggest buildings in Bratislava.The first is Tower 115 , 115 m high(Anthene is counted too :-).)It was called Pressburgcentrum and then just Presscentrum.Now it is called Tower 115.Some several villages belong to the territory of town Bratislava too(Devin,Svätý Jur,Modra etc.).

You can find many crazy statues around the old part of the town.I think the most popular is the statue of Schone Naci made of metal.Or statue of Cumil.He is starring from the sever at people.Well I hope you enjoyed my text about Bratislava!!!
