Jesuit Church

The Church of the Annunciation of the Lord and the Monastery of the Friar Franciscan Friars (the Franciscan Church) are originally a Gothic complex, later rebuilt, in the old town of Bratislava. The church is historically the oldest preserved religious building in the Slovak capital.

The complex of the Merciful Brothers, which comprise a church, monastery and hospital, dates from the end of the 17th century, and was modelled on a Viennese monastery. Built by the Order of Merciful Brothers that settled in the current territory of Slovakia in the 15th century, the hospital was of particular importance during the numerous periods of war and epidemics in this region.

Clarissine Church is a collection of Gothic and Renaissance buildings located in Bratislava. Founded in 1297, it is one of the oldest and most important architectural works of these styles in the capital. Currently, the University Library of Bratislava is located in the building of the former Clarissian Monastery.
