The book starts with information about history of Bratislava. There are the most known and traditonal views of Bratislava at first pages:
Like the mythical Phoenix bird, Bratislava castle rose from the ashes both figuratively and in the literal sense. In 1811 a devastating fire turned it into a smoldering pile of rubble and it wasn't until 1953 that reconstruction began, giving the ancient castle its present look of grandeur. (The castle is reconstructed again now, in 2009.)
The castle is accessible through King Sisismund's Gate, an impressive 15th century Gothic creation.
