    Hviezdoslav Square

    by Imbi Written Jan 3, 2003 1258 reviews

    3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    This square began to take shape in the 17th century. At this time it lay just outside the fortifications on the Southern part of the city. After the demolition of the town walls in the 18th century the Western end was planted out with trees and named Promenáda (The Promenade). At the eastern end the of the square the Guild Theatre was built and the square became known as Divadelné námestie (Theatre Square). Its present title is in honour of the great Slovak poet P O Hviezdoslav, a statue of whom can be found in the centre of the square

    Ganymede Fountain

    by Imbi Written Dec 24, 2002 1258 reviews

    3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    This fountain was designed by the Bratislava-born V. Tilgner in 1888. It depicts figures from anciet mythology. The eagle is carrying the young man Ganymede to the top of Mount Olympus so that he can serve the Gods, on the order of the Goddess Dia. On the upper part of the middle basin there are sculptures of aquatic creatures whilst, lower down, the central column is surrounded by figures of children with fish from the river Danube.

    I believe that Andrej Bagar is one of the famous people.
    The stone is next to the statue of Andrej Bagar and it looks beautiful.
