Kostol svätého Jána z Mathy
Slovakia
From Župné námestie the church almost disappears into the row of buildings around it. What stops you is the front: a strictly symmetrical façade that curves inwards, concave, held between two three-storey towers. This was the first building in Slovakia with a front wall treated this way, and it is still counted a rarity here. Horizontal cornices divide each storey, pilasters cut the surface into panels of windows and shallow niches, and a heavy gable framed by volutes rises to a triangular tympanum topped by a monstrance. It belongs to the Trinitarians, which is why locals simply call it the Trinitarian church, and it ranks among the most important Baroque buildings in Bratislava.
