Hradny palac a nadvorie Bratislavskeho hradu su z dovodu rekonstrukcie pre verejnost uzatvorene.

On the score of reconstruction Bratislava castle expositions are closed.

Na skalnom vybezku Malych Karpat, nad riekou Dunaj sa tyci majestatny hrad, ktory vyrazne dotvara panoramu hlavneho mesta Slovenska. Mohutna obdlznikova blokova stavba so styrmi naroznymi vezami stoji na strategickom mieste osidlenom uz v dobe keltskej a velkomoravskej. V 9. storoci v miestach dnesneho hradneho arealu stala palacova stavba a bazilika. Architekturu hradu najviac poznacili dostavby a prestavby v obdobi gotiky, renesancie a pocas panovania Marie Terezie. Od polovice 16. storocia, kedy sa na 200 rokov stala Bratislava korunovacnym mestom Uhorska, bol hrad sidlom panovnika, konali sa tu zasadnutia Uhorskeho snemu a v korunovacnej vezi boli ulozene korunovacne klenoty uhorskych kral'ov. Po prestahovani kralovskeho dvora do Viedne bol na hrade Generalny seminar, kde studovali mnohi vyznamni vzdelanci tej doby. Neskor hrad dostalo vojsko a v roku 1811 vyhorel. Rekonstrukcia sa uskutocnila az v sestdesiatych rokoch tohoto storocia.
Hrad s arealom bol vyhlaseny v roku 1961 za Narodnu kulturnu pamiatku.

This majestic castle stands on a rocky outcrop which forms part of the Male Karpaty mountains above the Danube river and is an outstanding feature of the capital Bratislava. The massive rectangular building with four corner towers stands in a strategic place which was inhibited during Celtic times and in the time of Greater Moravia. In the 9th century there was a palace and a basilica in the place of the present castle. The architecture of the castle is characterized by the reconstructions and extensions made during the Gothic and Renaissance period as well as during the rule of Maria Theresia. In the middle of the 16th century, Bratislava became the coronation city of Greater Hungary for 200 years and the castle became the king's residence. The sessions of the Hungarian Parlament took place there and the coronation jewels of the Hungarians kings were deposited in the coronation tower. After moving the royal court to Vienna the castle became a General Seminary, i.e. an educational institution, where many outstanding scholars of that time studied. Later the castle was used by the army and it burned down in 1811. Its reconstruction took place in the sixties of this century.
The Bratislava Castle is the National cultural monument.
