The Reduta Concert Hall
"The Reduta" is the most popular and commonly used name for the Slovak National Theater Opera House and was built back in 1773. The building is a unique blend of neo-Baroque, Rococo and Art Nouveau styles of architecture. This building was used for many purposes throughout time but is now dedicated solely to music. The Reduta is home to the Slovak Philharmonic, which keeps up the city's tradition of classical music, a tradition that has seen historical greats like Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Rubinstein and Hummel all write and perform in Bratislava.

St. Martin's Cathedral
St. Martin's Cathedral is a three-part Gothic-style church that was built on the site and around an original Romanesque church. St. Martin's Cathedral has a long history behind it and was the site of Hungarian kings' coronations from 1523 until the end of the Austria-Hungary Empire. There are four chapels inside of St. Martin's Cathedral, and the Tower of the Minister soars more than 275 feet from the roof and can be seen from most of the city.
