The Primate's Palace is a neoclassical palace located in the old town of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. The palace was built in the 18th century as a residence for the archbishop of Esztergom, who was also the primate of Hungary. The building is now used as a seat of the mayor of Bratislava and is open to the public as a museum.

The palace was designed by the famous architect Melchior Hefele and was built between 1778 and 1781. The building's façade is adorned with statues of Hungarian kings and is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in Bratislava. The palace's interior is equally impressive, with magnificent stucco decorations and frescoes.

The palace is home to a museum that showcases the history of Bratislava from medieval times to the present day. Visitors can see a range of exhibits, including historical documents, artworks, and artifacts. One of the most famous items on display is the Primatial Hall, which features a beautiful ceiling fresco and an impressive collection of historical portraits.

The palace's beautiful baroque garden is another highlight of the visit, with a lovely fountain, a flower garden, and a statue of St. George slaying the dragon. Visitors can also see the palace's chapel, which is adorned with paintings by the famous Austrian artist Franz Anton Maulbertsch.

The Primate's Palace is a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in Slovakian history, architecture, and art. The palace is open to the public every day except Mondays and public holidays.
