City Gallery of Bratislava – Pálffy Palace

Until the mid-19th century the site of today’s palace was the seat of the local lords, being owned from 1715 by the hereditary lords of Bratislava county – the Pálffy family. Up to the middle of the 19th century Count Ján Pálffy had it converted to a late classicist style palace. Reconstruction work revealed important archaeological findings, the foundations of a Roman brick house from the beginning of the 13th century and a unique gothic palace from the period around the middle of the 14th century.
Permanent expositions: Gothic panel painting and sculpting - Central European painting and sculpting of the 19th century - 20th century art in Slovakia.
