Description

In Bratislava's double ring of medieval walls, Michael's Gate is the only remaining medieval fortified gate. In the 1750s, the Baroque copper cupola of the gate and a statue of St Michael killing a dragon were installed.On the sixth level, an observation terrace offers panoramic views of the Old Town's red roofs and cobbled alleys. The Weapons and City Fortifications Museum breaks up the trip to the top of the tower, up the steep stairs.
