Bratislava

Bratislava is the only national capital that borders two countries, Austria and Hungary.

The medieval settlement Brezalauspurc, attributed to Bratislava, was first mentioned in 907.

The first known permanent settlement in the area began around 5000 B.C. during the Neolithic era.

Bratislava's Town Hall is a complex of three buildings erected in the 14th–15th centuries.

By the end of World War I, 42% of the population of Pressburg spoke German as their native language.
