Kostol Navštívenia Panny Márie
Slovakia
You find it facing straight onto Námestie SNP in Bratislava's Old Town, and the first thing to notice is how wide it is. The whole complex turns its full breadth to the square: the church in the middle, rising above the side wings of the monastery, with the hospital at the southern end. Locals usually just call it the Church of the Brothers of Mercy, after the hospitaller order that still gives the building its purpose. This was never a church that stood alone. It was built as the spiritual centre of a place where the sick were cared for.
