Blue Church

The Church of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, usually referred to as the Blue Church, is a lovely, almost romantic medieval structure located in Bratislava's Old Town neighborhood. The lovely sacral structure was created by Hungarian architect dön Lechner and features aspects of Art Nouveau. It stands out for the vibrant blue façade that was carefully crafted with frequent use of mosaic. It is a well-liked location for weddings and christenings.

The Church of St. Elizabeth is a single-nave structure with an additional cylindrical tower. Pale blue paint is used to decorate the church's interior, exterior, and even roof. Blue majolica is used to embellish the church's exterior and interior walls. The primary focal point of the church's façade and the main altar is a mosaic with a depiction of St. Elizabeth holding a rose.

Initially, it was intended for the cathedral to serve as a sort of Sissi, or Empress Elizabeth, memorial tomb. The Blue Church now serves as a parish church for Roman Catholics and has regular services. It's fascinating to note that in the Brussels park's Mini-Europe, this masterpiece of Art Nouveau symbolizes Slovakia. This is one of the Best Places to Visit In Bratislava.
