St. Martin's Cathedral is Bratislava's most important Gothic church, serving as the coronation church of the Kingdom of Hungary for nearly three centuries. A gilded replica of the Hungarian crown sits atop the 85-metre tower.
The church was built in the 14th–15th centuries and became the coronation church after the Ottoman conquest of Buda in 1541 forced the Hungarian capital to Pressburg (Bratislava). A major restoration in the 19th century restored its Gothic character.
