The present-day town was founded by Hungarians, who arrived in the Carpathian Basin in 895. It took its name from the first ispán of the county established by King Stephen I of Hungary in 1000. Its castle repeatedly defended the country from the German armies arriving with the purpose of conquest. King Sigismund of Hungary fortified it against the Czech Hussite plunderers, whose attack it could finally repel. King Matthias of Hungary founded a Renaissance university in the town called Academia Istropolitana in 1467. But Pozsony gained its real significance after the Turks occupied the country's capital, Buda, in 1541. The new capital of Hungary became Pozsony. In the following centuries, 10 ruling kings and 1 queen of the Habsburg House were crowned in St. Martin’s Cathedral, and the country assemblies were also mostly held in the town. Many churches, aristocratic palaces and public buildings were built in the town worthy of its rank. The anti-Habsburg Hungarian insurgents occupied it more than once. The Hungarian baron and ispán of Pozsony County Pálffy Pál expanded the palace and added the four ornamental towers and Empress Maria Theresia turned it into Baroque style. The country assembly in 1836 made Hungarian the official language of Hungary instead of the Latin. The first horse-drawn railway of Hungary was also opened between Pozsony and Nagyszombat. In 1919 the Czechoslovak army invaded the predominantly Hungarian and German town, fired at the peacefully protesting crowd and tore down the Hungarian statues. The violent Slovakization of the town began afterwards. After 1945 the remaining Hungarian and German inhabitants of the town were displaced, but the old buildings and monuments of the town will always preserve their memory.

Ancient times
Celtic then Roman settlements.

Large Avar settlement during the period of the Avar Khaganate. After the fall of the Avars, the Moravians occupied the northeastern corner of the Carpathian basin.
around 833
The Moravian Mojmir built a wooden palisade on top of the castle hill (time is uncertain).
895
Arrival of the Hungarians

895
The alliance of the seven Hungarian tribes took possession of the then largely uninhabited Carpathian Basin. Until then, the sparse Slavic population of the north-western Carpathians had lived under Moravian rule for a few decades after the collapse of the Avar Khaganate in the early 9th century.
902
Hungarians destroyed the Moravian fortification, and settled in the area. The Moravian "Empire" ceased to exist in 907 for ever.

Battle of Pozsony
Little more...
907
The Hungarians, fighting as nomadic horse archers, won a crushing victory over the huge East Frank army that was trying to destroy them. In this way, the Hungarians managed to ensure not only their survival but also the independence of their new homeland.

Foundation of the Hungarian Kingdom
Little more...
1000
The Kingdom of Hungary was established with the coronation of King Stephen I. He converted the Hungarians to Christianity and created two archdioceses (Esztergom and Kalocsa) and ten dioceses. He divided Hungary into counties led by ispáns, who were appointed by the king.
1000
Saint Stephen organized the counties, as the units of the royal administration of Hungary. Pozsony (Poson) County was created, and on top of the castle hill a new fort was constructed with wooden walls filled with earth. The head of the castle and the county had the title "ispán", and he was a man of the king.
1029
The area between the Lajta (Leitha) and Fischa rivers was a "gyepű" (a scarcely populated borderland) between Hungary and the Holy Roman Empire. The Germans were plundering the area, and the Hungarians, in retaliation, broke into Bavaria.
1030
Under the pretext of this, the Holy Roman Emperor Conrad II attacked Hungary to make it a vassal. The Bohemian vassal of the Emperor occupied Pozsony. Stephen I of Hungary applied the strategy of scorched earth. The hungry and weakened German army retreated and was surrounded and defeated by the Hungarians near Vienna. The area between the Lajta (Leitha) and Fischa rivers went under Hungary rule.
1041
The Hungarian notables dethroned the tyrannical Orseolo Péter (Peter) and elected Aba Sámuel as the new king of Hungary. Péter sought refuge at the Holy Roman Emperor Henry III.
1042
Aba Sámuel's army was devastating in present day Austria to slow down the German attack. Henry III occupied Pozsony and advanced to the Garam River.
1043
Henry III launched a new attack but his army got stuck in the marshes of the Rábca River. A peace was negotiated and Aba Sámuel renounced the area between the Lajta (Leitha) and Fischa rivers and the Marchfeld (the lower right banks of the Morava river).
1044
The Hungarian notables turned against Aba Sámuel and asked Henry III to intervene on their side. They defeated Aba Sámuel at Ménfő and Orseolo Péter occupied the throne.
1045
To solidify his rule Orseolo Péter swore fealty to Henry III.
1046
The Hungarians rose up against Orseolo Péter. Archbishop Gellért invited the expelled sons of Vazul (the cousin of Stephen I), Endre and Levente, to the throne. They soon marched in with Russian auxiliary troops. They pretended to support the parallel pagan uprising of Vata and together they chased away Orseolo Péter, but the pagans killed Archbishop Gellért. After András was crowned, he put down the pagan uprising.
1051
Henry III attacked Hungary, but the Hungarians managed to turn back his fleet carrying his supplies with a trick, by making them believe it was the order of the Emperor. The Hungarians hit the starving Germans with constant skirmishes. Finally Henry III begged for peace. King András sent them plenty of food, and the Germans, being happy to have survived, rushed home. The Vértes Mountain got its name after the plenty of armors (vért in Hungarian) and weapons the Germans left behind.
1052
Henry III lay siege to Pozsony, but failed. According to the legend, his fleet was sunk by Kund the Diver.

Mongol Invasion
Little more...

The hordes of the Mongol Empire invaded Hungary and almost completely destroyed it. One third to one half of the population was destroyed. The Mongols also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Muhi and they could not hunt down the king. After their withdrawal, King Béla IV reorganized Hungary.

The extinction of the House of Árpád
Little more...
1301
The House of Árpád, the first Hungarian royal dynasty, died out with the death of King Andrew III. Hungary was ruled by oligarchs, the most powerful of whom was Csák Máté, whose main ally was the Aba family.

1389
King Sigismund of Hungary paid the debt. Unlike Jodok, Prokop was unwilling to return the properties to Sigismund, so the Hungarian king had to retake many castles of Pozsony County by siege. Sigismund gave Pozsony to his most faithful follower, the polish Stibor of Stiboric who died in 1414.
1405
King Sigismund made Pozsony a free royal town.

1440-1441
The Czech Hussites soon occupied most of northern Hungary. They reinforced the castles and turned them into bandit lairs. They were pillaging everywhere and large areas became uninhabited. They wiped out the local German and Hungarian population, who were replaced by Czech and other Slavic settlers. The Czech Hussite devastation largely contributed to the Slavicisation of northern Hungary (now Slovakia).

A group of the barons elected Ferdinand I of the House of Habsburg to the throne, who promised to defend Hungary from the Turks. He was the younger brother of the most powerful European monarch Emperor Charles V. But the nobility chose the most powerful Hungarian baron, Szapolyai János, who was also crowned as King John I. The country was split in two and a decades-long struggle for power began.

Bocskai István decided to lead their uprising after the Habsburg emperor tried to confiscate his estates. Bocskai also rallied the hajdú warriors to his side. He was elected Prince of Transylvania and soon liberated the Kingdom of Hungary from the Habsburgs. In 1605 Bocskai István was crowned King of Hungary with the crown he received from the Turks.

Little more...
1619
At the beginning of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania went to war against the Habsburg emperor as an ally of the rebelling Czech-Moravian-Austrian estates. The whole Kingdom of Hungary joined him, only the Austrian defenders of Pozsony had to be put to the sword. With his allies, he laid siege to Vienna. However, he was forced to abandon the siege because the Habsburg-loyal Hungarian aristocrat Homonnai Drugeth György attacked his heartland with Polish mercenaries. On 25 August 1620, the Diet of Besztercebánya elected Bethlen Gábor King of Hungary as vassal of the Turks. He continued to fight after the defeat of the Czechs at White Mountain on 8 November 1620, but without real chance to achieve decisive victory, he decided to come to an agreement with Emperor Ferdinand II.

Victory over the Turks at Szentgotthárd and the shameful Peace of Vasvár
Little more...
1664
The imperial army achieved a significant victory over the Turks at the battle of Szentgotthárd. Despite this, Emperor Leopold I concluded a 20-year peace treaty with the Turks at Vasvár on terms that made it look as if the Turks had won. This caused a huge outcry in Europe and among the Hungarian nobility, who expected the country to be liberated after the victory. The formerly Habsburg-loyal Catholic Hungarian barons began to plot against the Emperor with the leadership of Wesselényi Ferenc. In 1668, at the end of the Franco-Spanish War, King Louis XIV of France withdrew his support for the conspiracy, and the support of the Turks was not obtained.

Kuruc Movement
Little more...
after 1671
Many noble, burgher and preacher fled to the Principality of Transylvania and the territory under Turkish occupation from the reprisals after the exposure of the anti-Habsburg Wesselényi-conspiracy and from the violent Counter-Reformation. They were joined by dismissed Hungarian soldiers of the Turkish border forts, who were replaced by German mercenaries. They were called the fugitives (bujdosók). They started an armed movement against the Habsburg rule. Because of the Turkish ban, the Principality of Transylvania could not openly support them. From 1677, the French supported their cause with money and Polish mercenaries. They achieved their first serious success when they temporarily occupied the mining towns of northern Hungary (now central Slovakia) under the command of Thököly lmre. He then became the sole leader of the movement. In 1679, the French made peace with Emperor Leopold I and withdrew their support for the fugitives. Between 1678 and 1681 Thököly Imre led successful raids against the Habsburgs and their supporters in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary. The insurgents were called kurucs.
1673
The castle was reinforced with 3 cannon bastions against the kuruc rebels.

Thököly Imre, Prince of Upper Hungary
Little more...
1682
Thököly Imre, the leader of the kuruc insurgents, gained the support of the Turks. He launched a campaign against the Habsburgs in the Kingdom of Hungary.

He was then recognized by the Turks as King of Hungary, but he chose the title of Prince of Upper Hungary.
July 26, 1683

1683
The combined armies of the Habsburg Empire and the Kingdom of Poland defeated the Turkish army besieging Vienna. Emperor Leopold I wanted to make peace with the Turks, but was refused by Sultan Mehmed IV. In 1684, at the persistent urging of Pope Innocent XI, the Holy League, an alliance of the Kingdom of Poland, the Habsburg Empire, the Republic of Venice and the Papal States, was formed to expel the Turks from Hungary. Thököly Imre, who had allied himself with the Turks, was gradually driven out of northern Hungary.

1685
The Pasha of Várad captured Thököly Imre as he was asking for Turkish help and offered him to Emperor Leopold I for peace. But the Imperial emissaries laughed at his face, because, having the upper hand, they no longer cared for Thököly. On the news of his capture, the town of Kassa and the kuruc strongholds surrendered to the Emperor one after the other. The Turks, seeing their fatal mistake, released Thököly the following year and tried to restore his authority, but his power was broken forever and the Hungarian insurgents no longer trusted the Turks. Most of the insurgents joined the imperial army and helped to liberate the rest of Hungary from the Turks.

Recapture of Buda and the liberation of Hungary from the Turks
Little more...
1686
The army of the Holy League recaptured Buda from the Turks by siege. In 1687, the Imperial army invaded the Principality of Transylvania. The liberation was hindered by the French breaking their promise of peace in 1688 and attacking the Habsburg Empire. By 1699, when the Peace of Karlóca was signed, all of Hungary and Croatia had been liberated from the Ottoman Empire with the exception of Temesköz, the area bounded by the Maros, the Tisza and the Danube rivers. It was not until the Peace of Požarevac in 1718 that Temesköz was liberated from the Turks. However, the continuous war against the Turkish invaders and the Habsburg autocracy, which lasted for more than 150 years, wiped out large areas of the Hungarian population, which had previously made up 80% of the country's population, and was replaced by Vlachs (Romanians), Serbs and other Slavic settlers and Germans. The Habsburgs also favoured the settlement of these foreign peoples over the 'rebellious' Hungarians.
1703-1711
Hungarian War of Independence led by Prince Rákóczi Ferenc II
Little more...
1703-1711
After the expulsion of the Turks, the Habsburgs treated Hungary as a newly conquered province and did not respect its constitution. The serfs rose up against the Habsburg ruler because of the sufferings caused by the war and the heavy burdens, and they invited Rákóczi Ferenc II to lead them. Trusting in the help promised by King Louis XIV of France, he accepted. Rákóczi rallied the nobility to his side, and soon most of the country was under his control. The rebels were called the kurucs. In 1704, the French and the Bavarians were defeated at the Battle of Blenheim, depriving the Hungarians of their international allies. The Rusyn, Slovak and Vlach peasants and the Saxons of Szepes supported the fight for freedom, while the Serbs in the south and the Saxons in Transylvania served the Habsburgs. Due to lack of funds Rákóczi could not raise a strong regular army, and in 1710, Hungary was also hit by a severe plague. Rákóczi tried unsuccessfully to forge an alliance with Tsar Peter the Great of Russia. In his absence, without his knowledge, his commander-in-chief, Károlyi Sándor, accepted Emperor Joseph I's peace offer. The Peace of Szatmár formally restored the Hungarian constitution and religious freedom and granted amnesty, but did not ease the burden of serfdom. Rákóczi refused to accept the pardon and went into exile. He died in Rodosto, Turkey.
1703
The kuruc rebels occupied Pozsony County but Pozsony remained a Habsburg stronghold.

But previously they made the Empress accept all their demands. The mustered 11 regiment of Hungarian hussars then saved the Habsburg Empire. The decision of the estates of Hungary was influenced by the reemerging Ottoman threat, and they also wanted to avoid another civil war.

Hungarian Reform Era. The reformers in the Hungarian Diet (Parliament) in Pozsony demanded to make Hungarian the official language of Hungary instead of the Latin, and to modernize the still feudal society and economy of Hungary. The official language became the Hungarian in 1836, but the important economic and social reforms were successfully prevented by the resistance of the Habsburgs and the aristocracy.

Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence
Little more...
1848-1849
Following the news of the Paris Revolution on 22 February 1848, the Hungarian liberal opposition led by Kossuth Lajos demanded the abolition of serfdom, the abolition of the tax exemption of the nobility, a parliament elected by the people, and an independent and accountable national government. The revolution that broke out in Pest on 15 March expressed its demands in 12 points, which, in addition to the above mentioned, included the freedom of the press, equality before the law, the release of the political prisoners and the union with Transylvania. A Hungarian government was formed, Batthyány Lajos became prime minister, and on 11 April Emperor Ferdinand V ratified the reform laws. On August 31 the Emperor demanded the repeal of the laws threatening with military intervention. In September the Emperor unleashed the army of Jelacic, Ban of Croatia, on Hungary, but they were defeated by the Hungarians in the Battle of Pákozd on 29 September. An open war began for the independence of Hungary. The Habsburgs incited the nationalities against the Hungarians. The Rusyns, the Slovenes and most of the Slovaks and Germans supported the cause persistently, but the Vlachs (Romanians) and the Serbians turned against the Hungarians. The glorious Spring Campaign in 1849 led by General Görgei Artúr liberated almost all of Hungary. On 1 May 1849, Emperor Franz Joseph, effectively admitting defeat, asked for the help of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, who sent an intervention army of 200,000 soldiers against Hungary. The resistance became hopeless against the overwhelming enemy forces and on 13 August Görgei Artúr surrendered to the Russians at Világos. Bloody reprisals followed, and on 6 October 1849, 12 generals and a colonel of the Hungarian Revolution, the martyrs of Arad, were executed in Arad. On the same day, Batthyány Lajos, the first Hungarian Prime Minister, was executed by firing squad in Pest. The Habsburgs introduced total authoritarianism in Hungary, but they also failed to fulfil their promises to the nationalities that had betrayed the Hungarians.
1867
Austro-Hungarian Compromise
Little more...
1867
The Habsburg Empire was weakened by the defeats it suffered in the implementation of Italian and German unity. The Hungarians wanted to return to the reform laws of 1848, but they did not have the strength to do so. Emperor Franz Joseph and the Hungarian opposition, led by Deák Ferenc, finally agreed to restructure the Empire and abolish absolutism. Hungary was given autonomy in its internal affairs, with its own government and parliament, which was essential for the development of its economy and culture. However, foreign and military affairs remained in the hands of the Habsburgs and served their aspiration for becoming a great power. The majority wanted Hungary's independence, but they were excluded from political power.

The Czech, Romanian and Serbian occupation of Hungary
Little more...
November 1918 - January 1919
In Hungary, the freemasonic subversion brought the pro-Entente Károlyi Mihály to power. The new government, naively trusting the Entente powers, met all their demands and disbanded the Hungarian military, which rendered the country completely defenseless in the most dire need. Under French and Italian command, Czech, Romanian and Serbian troops invaded large parts of Hungary, where they immediately began the takeover. They fired Hungarian railway workers, officials and teachers, banned the use of the Hungarian language, abolished Hungarian education, and disposed of everything that reminded them of the country's Hungarian past. Hundreds of thousands of Hungarians were forced to leave their homeland, and the forcible assimilation of the remaining Hungarians was begun.
2nd of January, 1919
The Czechoslovak Legion occupied Pozsony without a fight.
12th of February, 1919
Pozsony's Hungarian and German population peacefully protested against the occupation. The Czechoslovak Legion fired on the demonstrators. 9 people died, hundreds were injured.
after 1919
The Czechoslovaks destroyed the signs of the town's Hungarian origin. They renamed it to Bratislava, changed the names of the streets and squares, destroyed Hungarian statues and ordered the removal of the Hungarian and German shop signs. They fired Hungarian employees. They prohibited the Hungarian and German language education, and closed the Elisabeth University. Many people were forced to flee. They moved in Slovaks in large numbers to change the ethnic composition of the city.

Trianon Dictate
Little more...
4 June 1920
Hungary was forced to sign the Treaty of Trianon, although the country was not invited to the peace talks. Hungary lost two thirds of its territory that had belonged to it for more than 1000 years. One-third of the Hungarian population came under foreign rule. On the basis of the national principle, countries with a more mixed and less ethnically balanced composition than the former Hungary were created, such as Czechoslovakia and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia). For example, while 48% of the population of the territory ceded to Czechoslovakia was Slovak and 30% Hungarian, 54% of the population of the former Hungary was Hungarian and 10.6% Slovak. And in the territory that is now part of Serbia, the Hungarians outnumbered the Serbs. The part of the territory allocated to Romania from Hungary was larger than the remaining territory of Hungary, despite the fact that there were 10 million Hungarians and less than 3 million Romanians in the former Hungary. While Hungary used to have the most liberal nationality policy in Europe, the successor states had no respect at all for the national and cultural rights of the indigenous Hungarians and engaged in forced assimilation. The Trianon Dictate destroyed the organic economic unity of the region. Before the First World War, Hungary had a dynamic economy, more advanced than Spain's. After 1920, the successor states formed the so-called "Little Entente", putting Hungary under an economic blockade and sabotaging it on the international stage.
4th of June, 1920
The Trianon Dictate annexed Pozsony to Czechoslovakia, despite the fact, that the Slovaks formed only a minority in the town. The population was 40% Hungarian, 42% German, 15% Slovak.
2nd of November, 1938

Beneš decrees and the persecution of Hungarians

5 April 1945
In Hungarian-majority Kassa, the president of occupying Czechoslovakia, Edvard Beneš, promulgated his government program, the so-called Beneš decrees. As part of this, the Hungarian population was deprived of their rights. Their complete expulsion was planned, with the support of the Soviet Union, and only the veto of the USA prevented it. Under the 'Reslavakization' programme, only those Hungarians who recognised themselves as Slovaks were allowed to regain their rights, thus renouncing all linguistic and cultural rights. In the violent expulsions that followed, nearly 200,000 Hungarians were deprived of their property and expelled from their homeland on the basis of their nationality.
after 1945
As part of the Benes decrees the town's Hungarian and German population was expelled from Czechoslovakia. Their properties were confiscated.

1947
The Paris Dictate, in accordance with Soviet interests, did not recognise the just territorial revisions made by the two Vienna decisions and handed the reclaimed Hungarian-majority territories back to Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugoslavia, where the Hungarians were subjected to severe atrocities, expulsions and deprivation of rights. It also seceded three more villages south of Pozsony from Hungary to Czechoslovakia.
1 January 1993
Dissolution of Czechoslovakia
Little more...
1 January 1993
Czechoslovakia disintegrated due to ethnic differences between Czechs and Slovaks, shortly after the withdrawal of Soviet tanks. Slovakia was formed entirely from territory carved out of historic Hungary, and Slovak national identity is still largely based on falsified history and artificial hatred of Hungarians. Despite deportations, expulsions, forced assimilation and strong economic pressure, there are still nearly half a million Hungarians living in the country.
1st of January, 1993
Czechoslovakia was dissembled. Pozsony became the capital of the newly created Slovakia.
2007
The Slovak Parliament confirmed the Benes decrees. Around half a million Hungarians still live in Slovakia, but many don't dare to confess their nationality.
2010
Slovakia successfully prevented the Hungarian minority of Slovakia to regain its Hungarian citizenship.

St. Martin's Cathedral
History
The Romanesque church dedicated to the Most Holy Savior that once stood on its site was built between 1204 and 1221. It became a parish church at the beginning of the 14th century. This church was expanded in Gothic style between 1311 and 1314. The Gothic constructions lasted for centuries. During the reign of King Matthias of Hungary, the church was expanded to its current size in late Gothic style between 1467 and 1487.
Archbishop Esterházy Imre of Esztergom ordered the addition of the Baroque Chapel of St. John the Almsgiver to the north side of the church in 1732. It is the artwork of Georg Rafael Donner. Donner also created the equestrian statue of St. Martin dressed in Hungarian Hussar costume. The statue was part of the former main altar, but now it stands in the southern nave of the church.
The church was renovated between 1863 and 1878 in Neo-Gothic style according to the plans of Lippert Jézsef. 11 kings and 8 queens of Hungary were crowned in the church between 1563 and 1830 (of whom 10 kings and 1 queen were actually ruling).
The tower of the church is 85 meters high and on top of the spire the 164 centimeters tall copy of the Holy Crown of Hungary weighing 150 kilograms can be seen.
Several famous Hungarians rest in the crypt of the church, including Archbishop Pázmány Péter, the founder of the University of Nagyszombat (now ELTE in Budapest).
The codex containing one of the oldest Hungarian-language text, the Funeral Cermon and Prayer dating back to 1192, was found in the church by the Jesuit monk Pray György in 1770.
The new Danube-bridge (UFO) and the related road infrastructure built by Czechoslovakia in the 20th century cut the church from the Castle Hill and resulted in the destruction of a large part of the old town of Pozsony.

Archbishop Batthyány József of Esztergom ordered the construction of the palace, which took place between 1778 and 1781 according to the plans of Melchior Hefele. The tympanum is decorated by the archbishop's coat of arms and his cardinal's hat.
The Peace of Pozsony was signed in its Mirror Room on December 26, 1805 after the united Austrian and Russian army was defeated by Napoleon in the battle of Austerlitz. Emperor Ferdinand V signed the so-called April Laws here on April 11, 1848. The laws demanded by the Hungarian Revolution abolished the serfdom among other things and converted Hungary to a constitutional monarchy.
In 1849 Haynau signed the death sentences of the Hungarian revolutionaries here after the Habsburgs managed to suppress the Hungarian Revolution with Russian help. Batthiány Lajos, the first Hungarian prime minister, 13 generals of the Hungarian War of Independence and many revolutionaries were executed. There is a series of 17th century English gobelins (tapestry) in the palace depicting the tragic love of Hero and Leander. The gobelins were purchased by Archbishop Batthyány Lajos from Cardinal Mazarin.
The chapel of St. László can be found in the palace and the fountain of St. George the Dragon Slayer is in its inner courtyard.

The northwestern gate of the town of Pozsony was called St. Lawrence's Gate and it led to the village of Szentlőrinc (St Lawrence). Its first parish church was the Chapel of St. James, and its ruins can be inspected under a glass roof.

The St. Lawrence's church was a three-nave Gothic church built a few meters to the north of the chapel at the beginning of the 14th century. The church was modified in the 15th century and in 1529 it was demolished due to defense concerns with respect to the Turkish threat. In 1774 the cemetery, the St. James's chapel, the St. Lawrence's Gate and the town walls were all demolished.

In the 17th and 18th centuries the palace was modified and it functioned as the seat of Pozsony County within Hungary. In the 1850s the county moved to a new building and the Pálffy family reconstructed the building in late Classicist style. Now it hosts the town gallery of Pozsony.

Water Barracks
History
The Baroque building of the barracks was built in 1763 according to the plans of Franz Anton Hillebrandt. It could host two entire infantry regiments.
The building was also used as prison. Baron Mednyánszky László, a major in the Hungarian War of Independence between 1848 and 1849, spent his last night in its prison cell. Under his command the small Hungarian garrison of Liptóvár resisted the Imperial army of Simunich for more than four weeks. He and his fellow soldier Gruber Fülöp were hanged by Haynau on June 5, 1849 on Mount Donkey (Szamárhegy). This made them the first victims of the terror of Haynau, who was entrusted with the bloody retribution carried out after the fall of the Hungarian Revolution. Mount Donkey is now occupied by a monstrous Soviet monument called Slavín.
The Hungarian author Madách lmre, the writer of the famous play The Tragedy of Man, was also imprisoned here, just as the Lutheran pastor and Hungarian revolutionary Rázga Pál, who was also executed on June 18, 1849.
The southern wing of the barracks facing the Danube was demolished in 1940. After World War II the Slovak National Gallery occupied the building. lt got its new "modern" wing between 1969 and 1977.

Academia Istropolitana
History
The papal bull of Pope Paul II that allowed King Matthias of Hungary to establish a university was issued on May 19, 1465. The university was opened in Pozsony because Gmaintl István, a burgher of Pozsony, left his properties on the treasury. The head of the university became Archbishop Vitéz János of Esztergom, who was also its greatest sponsor. He invited renowned professors from abroad, but he himself was also a highly educated humanist. Sorrowfully Vitéz János led a conspiracy against King Matthias in 1671 and died in 1672, which meant also the demise of the university. The education ceased officially with the death of King Matthias in 1490. Emperor Joseph II was the next ruler to open a university in Pozsony in 1784.

Archbishop Pázmány Péter of Esztergom established the Jesuit College of Pozsony on September 11, 1626. The construction of the new building of the college started in 1628. The college and the grammar school were located in that building until 1714, when it was moved to the former house of Behaim Balázs on Batthiány Square (now Primate Square). lt was one of the oldest buildings of Pozsony and it was in a bad condition. The school later moved to the former monastery of the Clarissans. After the dissolution of the Jesuit Order, the Benedictines managed the school. The Benedictines were exiled in 1850 for their patriotic behavior after the fall of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence, and the language of the education became German during the absolutism. In 1861 the school could return to Hungarian-language education and after 1867 it became a royal Catholic grammar school with 8 classes. The famous Hungarian composer Bartók Béla was also its student. In 1919 Pozsony was invaded by the Czechoslovak army and they turned the school into a Slovak-language grammar school. Although more than twice as many Hungarians lived in the town, the invaders did not allow the school to start new first class with Hungarian-language education.

History
A tavern addressed to "The swan" stood on its site already in the 13th century. The restaurant addressed to "The three green trees" opened in the building in 1760. In 1838 Johann Lőwy, the director of the horse-drawn tram connecting Pozsony to Nagyszombat, purchased the building. The terminal of the railway was in the neighborhood on the Coronation square. Between 1844 and 1846 the one-story building became a three-story hotel with new Classicist appearance and was renamed to "To the green tree".
In 1905 the first cinema in the town was opened in the building with the name Elektrobioscop.
In 1913 two other neighboring buildings were integrated into the hotel and they got a new uniform facade. One of them was its former rival, the Savoy Hotel. The two united hotels got the name Carlton Hotel. It was managed by Palugyay Károly and his wife, Antónia. The building was modified to its current form between 1925 and 1929.
Kossuth Lajos, the political leader of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence between 1848 and 1849, stayed in The Green Tree Hotel in March 1848. On March 17, 1848 he made a speech to the crowd from the already demolished balcony of the hotel and announced that Emperor Ferdinand V entrusted Batthyány Lajos with setting up the first Hungarian government the previous day.

History
Pozsony became a free royal town in 1291 thanks to King Andrew III of Hungary. Its fortifications were built in the second half of the 13th century. It had four gates but the only one that was left is the Michael Gate.
The town fortifications gained their final form during the reign of King Sigismund of Hungary at the beginning of the 15th century. In 1775 Empress Maria Theresia ordered the demolition of the town walls because they hindered the expansion of the town.

Old Bridge
History
The construction of the bridge in 1891 was ordered by the Hungarian minister Baross Gábor. The bridge was named after Emperor Franz Joseph. The railway towards Szombathely (Hungary) also crossed the Danube on this bridge. After the Czechoslovak invasion in 1919 the bridge was renamed to Stefánik (Stefánik was a Slovak separatist born in northern Hungary, who betrayed his homeland and joined the French Foreign Legion during WW l.). The retreating Germans exploded the bridge in 1945. The Soviet army built a temporary steel bridge on the piers of the old bridge with German prisoners of war. The temporary bridge was named after the Red Army, and although it was built for only a couple of years, it still stands.
The new Danube Bridge was opened for the traffic in 1974. It was built by the Czechoslovak rulers of Pozsony at the expense of demolishing entire historic town quarters of Pozsony.
Bridge of the Michael Gate
History
The only one medieval town gate that was spared is the Michael Gate. One section of the moat before the gate can still be seen, and the bridge leads across it. The original bridge was made of wood, which was replaced by a brick bridge of three arches in 1727, after the town's fortifications had already lost their significance. In 1898 the bridge was widened, was given a new iron railing and one semicircular balcony was created on each side in the middle. The sculptures of St. John of Nepomuk and St. Michael were placed on them. In 1984 the statues, which were in a bad condition, were replaced by their replicas, and the Hungarian-Ianguage inscriptions on their pedestals were covered with Slovak-language plaques. After the Czechoslovak invasion in 1919, the town was forcefully Slovakized, and the Slovaks still can't stand seeing any sign of the town's Hungarian past. You can go down to the bottom of the moat using the stairs next to the Vörös Rák (Red Crab) Pharmacy.

The Czechoslovak invaders dismantled the statue and stored its pieces in a stables. It was found in 1955. The Czechoslovak administration allowed to reerect the statue only in an out-of-the-way town park in Pozsonyligetfalu south of the Danube, where Slovak nationalists vandalized it on a regular basis and the Hungarians commemorating at the statue were observed by agents. Because of the frequent protests the statue was dismantled, restored and reerected in 2002 in the lockable Medic Garden, which is surrounded with high a iron fence.

former Monument of Maria Theresia
History
The monument of Empress Maria Theresia was unveiled on May 16, 1897 in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph. lt was the artwork of the Hungarian sculptor Fadrusz János. The model of the monument won a grand prize at the World Expo in Paris in 1900.
On the night of 26 to 27 October 1921 the Czechoslovak invaders torn down the statue and smashed it into pieces with iron bars. The statue of Ludovit Stúr made by Bártfay Tibor was erected on its site in 1972. Ludovit Stúr was a Slovak subversive politician who recruited volunteers to fight on the side of the Habsburg Empire in order to suppress the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence between 1848 and 1849. He did not achieve great success, because the large majority of the Slovak minority of northern Hungary (now Slovakia) fought on the side of the Hungarians. Sorrowfully his ideological successors managed to undermine the integrity of Hungary and come to power by convincing the Entente Powers to create Czechoslovakia, the predecessor of Slovakia, without asking for the will of the people. This gave them the means to incite never ending hatred towards Hungarians, which was and still is indispensable for maintaining their power.

Water Barracks
History
The Baroque building of the barracks was built in 1763 according to the plans of Franz Anton Hillebrandt. It could host two entire infantry regiments.
The building was also used as prison. Baron Mednyánszky László, a major in the Hungarian War of Independence between 1848 and 1849, spent his last night in its prison cell. Under his command the small Hungarian garrison of Liptóvár resisted the Imperial army of Simunich for more than four weeks. He and his fellow soldier Gruber Fülöp were hanged by Haynau on June 5, 1849 on Mount Donkey (Szamárhegy). This made them the first victims of the terror of Haynau, who was entrusted with the bloody retribution carried out after the fall of the Hungarian Revolution. Mount Donkey is now occupied by a monstrous Soviet monument called Slavín.
The Hungarian author Madách lmre, the writer of the famous play The Tragedy of Man, was also imprisoned here, just as the Lutheran pastor and Hungarian revolutionary Rázga Pál, who was also executed on June 18, 1849.
The southern wing of the barracks facing the Danube was demolished in 1940. After World War II the Slovak National Gallery occupied the building. lt got its new "modern" wing between 1969 and 1977.

It took its name from the first isp\u00e1n of the county established by King Stephen I of Hungary in 1000. Its castle repeatedly defended the country from the German armies arriving with the purpose of conquest. King Sigismund of Hungary fortified it against the Czech Hussite plunderers, whose attack it could finally repel. King Matthias of Hungary founded a Renaissance university in the town called Academia Istropolitana in 1467. But Pozsony gained its real significance after the Turks occupied the country's capital, Buda, in 1541. The new capital of Hungary became Pozsony. In the following centuries, 10 ruling kings and 1 queen of the Habsburg House were crowned in St. Martin\u2019s Cathedral, and the country assemblies were also mostly held in the town. Many churches, aristocratic palaces and public buildings were built in the town worthy of its rank. The anti-Habsburg Hungarian insurgents occupied it more than once. The Hungarian baron and isp\u00e1n of Pozsony County P\u00e1lffy P\u00e1l expanded the palace and added the four ornamental towers and Empress Maria Theresia turned it into Baroque style. The country assembly in 1836 made Hungarian the official language of Hungary instead of the Latin. The first horse-drawn railway of Hungary was also opened between Pozsony and Nagyszombat. In 1919 the Czechoslovak army invaded the predominantly Hungarian and German town, fired at the peacefully protesting crowd and tore down the Hungarian statues. The violent Slovakization of the town began afterwards. After 1945 the remaining Hungarian and German inhabitants of the town were displaced, but the old buildings and monuments of the town will always preserve their memory.","nameorigin":"","history":"Ancient times|Celtic then Roman settlements.@from 568 to the 9th century|Large Avar settlement during the period of the Avar Khaganate.

One of them was its former rival, the Savoy Hotel. The two united hotels got the name Carlton Hotel. It was managed by Palugyay K\u00e1roly and his wife, Ant\u00f3nia. The building was modified to its current form between 1925 and 1929.@Kossuth Lajos, the political leader of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence between 1848 and 1849, stayed in The Green Tree Hotel in March 1848.

The school later moved to the former monastery of the Clarissans. After the dissolution of the Jesuit Order, the Benedictines managed the school. The Benedictines were exiled in 1850 for their patriotic behavior after the fall of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence, and the language of the education became German during the absolutism. In 1861 the school could return to Hungarian-language education and after 1867 it became a royal Catholic grammar school with 8 classes.

The model of the monument won a grand prize at the World Expo in Paris in 1900.@On the night of 26 to 27 October 1921 the Czechoslovak invaders torn down the statue and smashed it into pieces with iron bars. The statue of Ludovit St\u00far made by B\u00e1rtfay Tibor was erected on its site in 1972. Ludovit St\u00far was a Slovak subversive politician who recruited volunteers to fight on the side of the Habsburg Empire in order to suppress the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence between 1848 and 1849. He did not achieve great success, because the large majority of the Slovak minority of northern Hungary (now Slovakia) fought on the side of the Hungarians.

A small theatre was created in its rear part in 1760-61 and it served as the town's theatre until 1775, when the permanent theatre of the Cs\u00e1ky family was built."},{"sightId":931,"townId":1,"active":1,"name_LO":"\u017digraiova k\u00faria","address":"\u017didovsk\u00e1 ulica 17.","mapdata":"1|691|1647","gps_lat":"48.1440320000","gps_long":"17.1036070000","religion":6,"oldtype":"51, 8","newtype":"98","homepage":"https:\/\/www.snm.sk\/?muzeum-zidovskej-kultury-historia-muzea","openinghours":"https:\/\/www.snm.sk\/?otvaracie-hodiny-a-vstupne-19","muemlekemlink":"","csemadoklink":"http:\/\/emlekhelyek.csemadok.sk\/emlekhelyek\/zsigray-kuria\/","picture":"\u003Ca title=\u0022Wizzard \/ Public domain\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:%C5%BDigraiova_k%C3%BAria_1.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg width=\u0022512\u0022 alt=\u0022\u017digraiova k\u00faria 1\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/3\/3c\/%C5%BDigraiova_k%C3%BAria_1.jpg\/512px-%C5%BDigraiova_k%C3%BAria_1.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E","picture_ref":"\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:%C5%BDigraiova_k%C3%BAria_1.jpg\u0022 title=\u0022via Wikimedia Commons\u0022\u003EWizzard\u003C\/a\u003E \/ Public domain","name":"Zsigray Mansion, Museum of Jewish Culture","seolink":"zsigray-mansion-museum-of-jewish-culture","note":"","history":"Zsigray J\u00e1nos, vice isp\u00e1n of Pozsony, built the mansion in the 17th century.
