    In the 9th century, the castles at Brezalauspurc and Devín were important centres of the Slavic states: the Principality of Nitra and Great Moravia

    "Brezalauspurc" dates to 907 and is related to the Battle of Bratislava during which the Bavarian army was defeated by the Hungarians.

    11 Hungarian kings and queens were crowned in bratislava, the city flourished during the 18th-century reign of Queen Maria Theresa becoming the largest and most important town in Hungary.

    1465 - Universitas Istropolitana established.

    the city was designated the new capital of Hungary in 1536

    1552 - Holy Crown of Hungary housed in Bratislava Castle.

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart gave a concert here in 1762. Joseph Haydn performed here. Ludwig van Beethoven was a guest in 1796

    The Battle of Blumenau was the last battle fought in the Austro-Prussian War, on 22 July 1866

    19th century history was closely tied to the major events in Europe. The Peace of Pressburg between Austria and France was signed here in 1805. Devin Castle was ruined by Napoleon's French troops during an invasion of 1809

    The first horse-drawn railway from Bratislava to Svätý Jur, was built in 1840´

    Bratislava was bombarded by the Allies, occupied by German troops in 1944, and eventually taken by troops of the Soviet 2nd Ukrainian Front on 4 April 1945.
