BMD2022 Opening of the City Gates – Photo Gallery

The opening of the city gates brought history back to life on the streets of Bratislava.

The historical procession passed through the streets of the city from Primate Square to Rudnay Square.

It was here, near the former Vydricka Gate, which was demolished at the end of the 18th century when Bratislava's city fortifications were removed, that the mayor symbolically opened the gates, the city guard showed their skills, and swordsmen performed in historical duels.
