SLAVÍN

One of the attraction for free in Bratislava, very popular among tourists as well as locals is Slavín memorial. We could definitely include the national cultural monument of Slavín to the landmarks of our capital. It is a memorial that was unveiled in 1960 on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the liberation of Bratislava by the Soviet army.

Each visitor is captivated by its monumental and unusual architecture with a 7 meter high bronze statue of a Soviet soldier. Although many tourists, especially foreign ones, take it mainly as a great point of sight and memorial, it must be remembered that Slavin is also a mass grave at the same time.

In the six mass and 278 individual graves, there are 6,845 Red Army soldiers buried who have fallen in the liberation of the city during the Second World War in April 1945.

The park also includes a well-arranged park. There is a wonderful view of Bratislava from this place. That is why Slavín is a frequent weekend destination for hikers, walkers and cyclists too.

There are also commemorative events associated with wreath laying ceremony and the honoring of fallen soldiers taking place.
