Old Town Hall, as the name suggests, is the country's oldest stone building and one of the oldest town hall buildings still standing proudly in Bratislava. It was the town hall of the city from the 15th through the 19th centuries. It also used to be a prison, a mint, a municipal archive, an arsenal depository, and a place of trade and celebrations. The building has been renovated many times giving it characteristics of Renaissance, Baroque, and Neo-Renaissance styles. Today it houses the Bratislava City Museum where visitors can explore exhibits that tell the city's history - from the Middle Ages, the feudal justice system, torture instruments, antique weapons, armor, dungeons, paintings, and more. The tower has a viewing platform that rewards the visitors with great views of the main square and the city.
