Church of the Annunciation — Attraction in Bratislava

The Franciscan Church (Slovak: Františkánsky kostol or Kostol Zvestovania Pána) is the oldest existing religious (sacral) building in the Old Town of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.[2] The church was consecrated in the year 1297 in the presence of King Andrew III of Hungary. In the past, the church building served for larger gatherings of townspeople or Hungarian nobles. In 1526 Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor was elected here to become the King of Hungary. During coronations, kings used to knight nobles as Knights of the Order of the Golden Spur in this church. The building was damaged several times by fire and earthquake and only a small part of its original form is preserved, most notably the presbytery. The adjacent Chapel of Saint John the Evangelist with a crypt, built in the second half of the 14th century is considered one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture...

A Franciscan church that you must visit or see when you are in Bratislava. In the city center, near the old square, the fountain, close to the city museum. Fantastic architecture and cathedral courtyard. It was a holiday and there were many tourists walking around here. Also, I am delighted with the place and bench to sit in the courtyard where you can feel the wonderful spirit...

The mummy of St. Reparatus is inside Franciscan church (The Chapel of St. John). St. Reparatus was a dedicated preacher of the Gospel in the city of Nola near Neapol (Italia).

Since then his remains have been kept in the artistic reliquary in this Franciscan church.
