SNP square (Namestie SNP)
One of the biggest squares in the city. A venue for many concerts or public protests. It was the scene of many of the Velvet Revolution protests in Bratislava in 1989.
When Slovakia is successful at large international sporting events SNP hosts large rallies for the successful sport stars, as was the case in 2002 when Slovakia became the world champions in ice hockey.
The square is near Obchodna Street and adjacent to the most beautiful entrance to the Historical Center - Michalska Brana (Michael's Gate).
SNP has statues in memory of Slovenske Narodne Povstanie (Slovak National Uprising of 1944, for which the Square is named). These statues are considered a prominent flaw in the city by some of the locals, as it was built by communists, who claimed that the Uprising (against the WWII pro-Nazi Slovak government) was all done thanks to them.
