Primacial Palace

Originally it was the residence of the Archbishop of Estergom. Among the most famous historic events that took place in the Mirror Hall was the signing of Bratislava Peace Treaty with Napoleon in 1805, between Napoleonic France and Habsburg Austria after the battle at Slavkov.
In the rooms on the first floor, which belong to the Gallery of the Capital of the Slovak Republic, a unique collection of 6 tapestries dating from the middle of the 17th century is situated.
The tapestries depict the old-Greek epic of the love of Heros and Leander. These were woven in the Royal English manufacture in Mortlake. It is the only collection of tapestries depicting the legend in 6 pictures.

Representative rooms are used to display a permanent exhibition of old European paintings. The 15th century Gothic Chapel of St. Ladislaus is decorated with a precious fresco and it houses an original pipe organ. An excellent venue for welcome parties, gala evening and concerts.
