Bratislava’s Old Town Hall is the oldest in Slovakia, assembled from merged burgher houses beginning in the 1370s. A cannonball from Napoleon’s 1809 bombardment is still embedded in the tower wall. Now housing the Bratislava City Museum, it faces the Main Square (Hlavne Namestie) and is a short walk from the castle. Tuesday-Sunday 10:00-17:00; check muzeum.bratislava.sk for admission.

Old Town Hall
Also known as Stará radnica
Bratislava's Old Town Hall (Stará radnica) is the oldest surviving town hall in Slovakia, first documented in the 1370s. It was built by merging several adjacent burgher houses over the following century, which is why the facade shows different Gothic and Renaissance styles on different sections.
