Every year in July Bratislava hosts the Coronation Days Theater. Fencing performances, exhibitions, tastings, and free tours in Slovak, English, German, Hungarian, and Ukrainian are waiting for you. The main event is a procession in historical costumes with the king, queen, nobility, and church dignitaries will take place in the streets of Bratislava. The parade starts in the courtyard of Bratislava Castle and end in the Main Square. In Bratislava, such historical processions take place every year. After all, Prešpork (the old name of Bratislava) used to be the coronation place of Hungarian kings. From 1563 to 1830, coronation ceremonies were held in St. Martin’s Cathedral for ten Hungarian kings, one queen, and eight wives of kings.
