St Martin’s Cathedral is a striking Gothic church that served as the coronation site for Hungarian monarchs from 1563 to 1830. Its tall spire is capped with a replica of the Hungarian crown. Inside, visitors can see the original coronation portal, ornate chapels, and a crypt. The cathedral remains an active place of worship and a key stop on Bratislava’s historic route.
