In the east of the city of Bratislava there is a large, circular housing estate from the Soviet era. In the center is a park that shows a crashing UFO. The UFO sculpture was designed by Juraj Hovorka and was built in the mid-1970s together with the residential buildings.

A putto in the garden of Bratislava Castle. The childlike figure stands slightly turned and holds an upturned cornucopia in his hands. Beside him on the ground lie lavishly depicted fruits that emerge from the horn and gather around the base.

Putto

Putto in the gardens of Bratislava Castle. He is leaning back slightly and appears playful and lively. A cloth lies over his shoulder, falling loosely behind him. Next to him is an angel with outstretched wings, against which he is leaning.

This 3D model presents a photogrammetric reconstruction of the Museum of the City of Bratislava, created as a school project. The model was generated from a series of overlapping photographs processed using photogrammetry software to accurately capture the architectural details, textures, and proportions of the historic building.

The Museum of the City of Bratislava is one of the oldest museums in Slovakia, located in the Old Town beneath Michael’s Gate. Its architecture reflects centuries of urban development and preserves important historical elements of the city.

The goal of this project was to explore the practical workflow of photogrammetry — from image acquisition and alignment to mesh generation, cleanup, and texture optimization — while maintaining as much authentic surface detail as possible.

This scan demonstrates both the strengths and limitations of photogrammetry in real-world conditions, including lighting challenges, occlusions, and complex architectural geometry.

Below Bratislavský hrad, on the wooded castle hill of Bratislava, stands a Baroque sandstone statue that corresponds to the iconographic type of “Ecce Homo.” It depicts Christ after the flagellation, at the moment when he is presented to the crowd. He wears a crown of thorns, a loosely draped robe, and holds his hands bound in front of his body. His posture is calm and composed, his slightly lowered gaze conveying quiet dignity and a composed endurance of suffering.

The figure stands on a tall, simple stone column with a base, clearly distinguishing it from the surrounding park grounds. The traces of weather and time have visibly marked the surface of the sandstone, lending the depiction additional poignancy. Set amid the trees and with a sweeping view over the city, the monument appears both secluded and present, inviting quiet contemplation and devotion.

The statue “Víťazstvo” (“Victory”) stands in front of the building of the National Council of the Slovak Republic in Bratislava and depicts an allegorical female figure made of bronze. The figure, draped in a long, flowing robe, stands upright with outstretched arms, holding a rose in each hand. Her calm, dignified expression and balanced posture lend the sculpture a solemn yet peaceful effect.

In contrast to heroic or military depictions of victory, this figure does not embody a combative triumph, but rather a symbolic victory of peace and reconciliation. The roses represent memory, hope, and a victory achieved not through violence but through the overcoming of conflict. From its elevated position above the steps, the statue appears as a silent guardian of parliament, underscoring the connection between state authority and the ideal of a peaceful, democratic community.

In the early Middle Ages, there was an important ecclesiastical center of the Great Moravian Empire directly below Bratislava Castle. The so-called Great Moravian Basilica was built in the 9th century, when Bratislava played a central role in politics and the church as an important center of power and administration. The basilica was a representative sacred building that probably served as the main church of a fortified area. 

Today, none of the basilica's towering walls remain, but its foundations and floor plans, the remains of walls, and traces of other buildings, including a smaller church and an ossuary from the 11th to 12th centuries, are still visible. These remains have been made visible below the castle through archaeological reconstructions and ground markings. Colored stone settings illustrate the different construction phases and building types, enabling visitors to understand the structure of the early medieval complex.

The putto with sword and shield is a characteristic sculpture in the Baroque gardens of Bratislava Castle. The figure depicts a childlike putto—a common motif in Baroque art—who, despite his youthful appearance, is armed. With his sword raised and protective shield, he embodies the exciting contrast between innocence and defensiveness.

The lively movement is typical of the Baroque style: the slightly twisted body, the play of fabric and the expressive posture lend the statue dynamism and presence. At the same time, the putto has a symbolic meaning. The sword and shield represent protection, vigilance and virtue, while the childlike figure emphasises the idea of divine or moral purity.
